Occupation: Businesswoman/Real Estate

Education and Qualifications: You will be making an important choice for Belmont City Clerk on November 5th.

My business experience spans almost three decades with IBM Corporation, in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area, where I advanced from executive secretary to staff administration to management positions.

As a sixteen-year homeowner in Belmont, I take pride in contributing to our community. My knowledge of local and legislative procedures, and the experience of working successfully with public administrators and our citizens, will allow me to make as seamless a transition as possible to the position of Belmont City Clerk.
