I have lived in Citrus Heights for 4 years now. I have a landscaping business, doing landscaping, lawn care, and yard work here in Citrus Heights as well as a business called Isbell Creations selling handmade jewelry and other items online. I am also co-authoring an Image of America Series Placerville book for Arcadia Publishing.

    I grew up in South Lake Tahoe, California and I have always been involved in the community.  I was the Founder and Director of Tahoe Dream Foundation in South Lake Tahoe for 5 years, which was a non-profit organization helping support local Child Care Centers and helping those in need in the community. I was the Recording Secretary for Soroptimist International SLT for two years as well as part of the Lake Tahoe Collaborative, Tahoe Chamber of Commerce, and many other organizations. I have Associates Degrees in Social Science, Natural Science, and Liberal Arts as well as my Teaching Credential.  I am also currently a member of Sacramento Tree Foundation.

I love being a part of our community here in Citrus Heights and I would like to become more involved in our community in any way I can. I'm here to listen to everyone in our community that would like to be heard and by doing whatever possible to solve any issues or concerns that anyone may have.
