Candidate for
Board Member; Brisbane Elementary School District

What I enjoy most is helping to improve our community. I am the vice-chair of the Brisbane Parks and Recreation Commission, where I have focused on youth services. I have worked with subcommittee members, Brisbane city staff and council to get the skate park renovation project underway. With our Lipman principal, Council and City staff, and subcommittee, I have made certain that we have after school activity options for our young teens. Currently I am working on the revival of the Youth Advisory Council, bringing leadership opportunities to middle school and high school students in our District.

For over ten years, I have served on the board, and was recently President, of the Brisbane Dance Workshop. With BDW, I have worked to produce fundraisers, handle communication, engage in strategic planning, design a new website, help with the day-to-day running of our arts organization.

My husband and I own a promotional products company. I manage the finances of the company, do graphic design, and handle marketing.

Previously, I worked at Levi Strauss & Co, where I managed the overseas production of Levi's t-shirts and woven shirts. I was the President of the AIDS Action Group.

And before that, I worked as a dance critic at Dance Magazine and other publications. I have also danced professionally in modern dance companies in New York and San Francisco.
