I’m running for Concord City Council, and I appreciate the opportunity to earn your support.

My husband Justin and I decided to move to Concord not just because of its natural beauty in the shadow of Mount Diablo, but also because of the incredible sense of community. We were welcomed with open arms, and we are proud to call Concord home.

As a budget analyst and government ethics trainer in my professional life, I have a deep and broad skill set that can benefit our community. For me, public service is not just an ideal but a way of life. For nearly a decade, I have dedicated my time and energy to making Concord an even better community in which to live and work, serving as Chair of the City of Concord Planning Commission, Board Chair of Monument Impact, and Founder and Chair of Concord’s annual Art, Wine (and Beer!) Walk. My community and city service has given me a solid understanding of how our city works, enabling me to solve problems and find solutions for Concord residents and businesses. I’m confident my work ethic, problem-solving skills, and financial expertise would be a great fit for the Concord City Council.

I look forward to seeing many old friends on the campaign trail, and making new ones. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or suggestions (Contact Page), and by Election Day I hope I will have earned your support.
