20 years of neighborhood activism at the Community Board, neighborhood associations and non-profits mean I understand the needs of district 8, and have demonstrated the commitment to create a better future.

With 17 years pioneering as a woman in management in a Fortune 500 Global Company, I have the experience to insure accountability for our tax dollars, and excellence in services.
