My recent professional journey spans 15 years with the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD), and my current role as Fremont Field Director for Alameda County Supervisor, District 1, David Haubert. I have participated in an extensive range of nonprofit roles from volunteer to leadership, including Board president and co-founder. Community positions, include the Fremont Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee and former commissioner for the Senior Services Commission. Along the way, I have developed the skills required to act as a community liaison and put my passion for relationship-brokering to work building teams, forging camaraderie, and finding solutions. Together with my husband of 38 years, I have raised two children from boys to thriving adults. Following my children’s journey through the Fremont Unified School District I saw the need at school sites and volunteered as a PTA leader, resulting in earning their highest honor, PTA Golden Oak Award.

| “ |
I am running for council to help ensure the citizens of Fremont have the best quality of life possible. This means real solutions for public safety, traffic, healthcare, parks and recreation, business, development, and education. Growth in Fremont should be positive for our residents and neighborhoods, so we must manage it in smart ways. As community volunteer for more than 20 years, I worked to make improvements in our 5 historic districts. I am proud that as president of the Centerville Business and Community Association I worked to develop a smart plan for growth. As your councilmember, I will build on my experience, work with small business and residents to grow rich culture, create economic development, and innovative strategies for projects in Warm Springs, Downtown, and throughout Fremont. Fremont is a city of vibrant cultures that need to be a part of and benefit from Fremont’s growth plan. I will work to shape inclusive communities that celebrate Fremont’s diversity. I will look for opportunities to partner with the schools and neighborhoods to support education that helps our communities succeed. I respectfully ask for your vote so that we can work together to create a positive future for Fremont. [5] |
