I’m a proud graduate of Mayfield High School in Pasadena and Santa Clara University and have been an Altadena resident for 31 years. I retired after careers in merchandising and finance with major department stores and banks. The experience I gained in both these fields has helped me immensely as a Council Member.

When I first joined the Altadena Town Council, I was ignorant of the wonderful things that Altadena has to offer. Since then, I have discovered the parks, the magnificent library, shops, restaurants, artists in so many genres, and organizations that actually accomplish something. There’s a lot of wonderful in this town.

On joining the Council, I said that communication was at the top of my priority list. Nothing has changed since then. I pledge to continue to provide information on Town Council activities and other items of interest to the residents of Census Tract 4611 and to be as responsive as I can to their needs.
