I look forward to using the skills learned over the past 25 years as an occupational therapist to serve my community. My abilities to advocate, represent, and report on the needs of the persons I serve, work collaboratively as a member of a team to develop relevant and fiscally sound solutions, and follow up to make sure objectives are being met or, at a minimum, progress is being made align well with the skills needed for a City Councilwoman.
