My grandparents purchased their Menlo Park home in the 1950s, and my mother attended Menlo Park public schools. In 1996, my husband and I purchased our home in Menlo Park, and our children also attend Menlo Park public schools. I have had my own law practice in the County for 16 years. 

Proven Track Record -  I have over 14 years of civic service, including 6 years on the Menlo Park Planning Commission. I was appointed to the Planning Commission in 2004 by Jellins, Duboc and Winkler, and reappointed in 2008 by Fergusson, Cline and Robinson.  I make decisions based on principles that benefit the entire community.  I have worked with fellow Commissioners on difficult issues, striving for a fact-oriented and fair outcome.
