Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached.
I am a resident and business owner in Costa Mesa. I live on Junipero Dr, which is where the tennis center, skateboard park, dog park and Tewinkle Park are located. I frequent everything. My business is Side Street Cafe on Newport Blvd next to Lyons Park. The community services these locations provide are very important to our residents. Covid has really disrupted services in the past, and I am happy to see things returning to more normal times. Between what my neighbors and my customers express to me, I feel I can give voice to concerns and needs some of our residents are hoping for.
Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I would like to see the programs Hank and Maureen Lloyd initiated at CMTC continue. Especially the junior tennis camps and classes for the locals. I think Pickleball should be promoted. I would like to see activities at Tewinkle Park initiated: movie nights, concerts, food truck dining, dog shows, Mommy and me exercise classes, and city sponsored arts and crafts classes. Maybe badminton courts and wedding venues, family reunion spots with catering provided, things like that.

Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I have been very impressed with the unique ways the City has been working with small spaces to build more parks and keeping up the spaces that bring our community together. My favorites is the "pocket park", Perez Park, in East Side Costa Mesa and I would be particularly interested in seeing if there were other spaces in Costa Mesa that could be utilized in such a creative, constructive and efficient way! Also, as the mother of a son who has played baseball, football and soccer on almost every field in Costa Mesa, I'm also interested in making sure these spaces stay well-maintained (and even upgraded!) to keep up with the City resident's active lifestyle and enjoyment and use of these accessible and open places.
