I'm running for Irvine City Council on Nov 6th and I'm up against special interests who spent $70k against me in 2016. I need your help to reach my goal of raising $5000 by June 30th!  This will put me ahead of my competition and raise my profile as a leading candidate.

The citizens of Irvine need three things:  true transparency, smart housing and a robust infrastructure.  That’s exactly why I’m running for office.  Let me share about my background so you get an understanding of who I am.

My family and I have been in Irvine for the past 14 years and are raising 4 successful children, 2 of my own and 2 foster kids, all who attend Irvine public schools.  My husband and I support the Irvine Public School Foundation as Legacy Partners and support our Athletic booster club.  I proudly served 3 terms as PTA President and am continuing to serve on the School Site Council at my son’s high school.  I earned my degree from UC Davis and because of my education in writing and science, I earned my way up as a Regulatory Affairs Manager for a major biotech company.  My 8 years of experience in compliance with an emphasis on corrective and preventive actions is the proactive experience Irvine needs.  My husband and I have run our successful restaurant and catering business for over 13 years where we survived the recession by being fiscally responsible while keeping up with quality.  I am currently the Executive Director of a local non-profit, the Newport Mesa Irvine Interfaith Council, where I work with the faith communities and other non-profits to help address some of the issues in our community, like homelessness and human trafficking.

I am a Rotarian, serve on our Community Emergency Response Team and I’m on the steering committee for the Irvine Global Village Festival.  I’ve served on the City of Irvine’s Community Services Commission and have been actively engaged in many other community organizations and projects.  I have the experience in the business sector, private sector and am active in the non-profit sector, what that means is that I’m already integrating with the citizens of Irvine and getting a sense of what needs to be included in our city and that’s exactly why I’m focusing on true transparency, smart housing and a robust infrastructure. 

With your help, I can raise the funds necessary to reach out to voters with my message and win in 2018.
