Q4
As a Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? The projects that are of interest to me:

Getting more residents out to our parks ad enjoying nature. I would like to see some kind of campaign for a community get together. I recently went to 2 Chili Cookoffs and thoroughly enjoyed meeting neighbors, but these are only 2 times a year. Concerts in the park is also only in the summer times. If we could get some kind of campaign to get more community events going, and increasing awareness, it would improve our community.

I was very pleased that Triangle Square was recently cleaned up and it is nice to visit regularly. I would like to see more areas change for the better to increase foot traffic. There are areas on Harbor Blvd that are dark and appear dilapidated. I would also like to brighten up those shopping areas. I am hoping by having a reduction of the price of permits, and other incentives will encourage building owners to spend money on their property which will increase our tax revenue.

Other than this, I have experience and time on my hands, and as a resident of Costa Mesa for almost 50 years, I am looking for things that I can to do to improve Costa Mesa.

Q2
Indicate the name of the Commission you are interested in serving on:

I wish to serve on this commission because I believe that Parks and Community Services provide residents with necessary services for their wellbeing, and I want to be part of that. Aside from basic services provided by the city, parks and community services are often the only connection residents will have to local government. That makes this extremely important. When I wake up in the morning, I am comforted by the knowledge that I live in a developing city that provides ample green space, historical interest, and services that amplify the Costa Mesa living experience.

The focus of my career thus far has been in volunteer management, organizing, and nonprofit development. While my focus has mostly been in health and justice, I am eager to bring my skills to this planning commission and help continue to steer the Parks and Community Services Commission in a direction that best serves our community. I have a Master of Public Administration degree from American University, which has given me a firm grasp on the functions and management of government agencies. My greatest lesson from my education is that the role of public administration is to "provide society every day." It seems to me that some of the most important aspects of society that city government can provide are access to outdoor spaces, opportunities to be active, and opportunities to connect with the city, the earth, and each other.

I, as a relatively young person, am dedicated to the City of Costa Mesa and its continued excellence. I am hoping that this position is an opportunity to serve in a more involved way that allows me to be connected to this city and its residents for years to come. I have felt welcomed by this city, and I want to help extend that feeling to residents new and old, as well as guests of Costa Mesa.

With all of this in mind, please consider me for a position on this commission. Thank you. # 21

Q4
As a Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I am interested in the function and maintenance of parks, community gardens, the country club, and adult sports. I frequent the parks of Costa Mesa (I love taking a nice stroll or visiting the Diego Sepulveda Adobe). I am currently waitlisted for a spot in one of the the community gardens. I think the golf course is excellent and I have lost more than one ball on the Par 5s.

I also want to help teens and young adults feel connected to parks and community services. I often feel that parks are utilized by children and their parents, as well as older adults, but the services are lost on people who are not in those phases of life. As the last few years have shown, connection to our outdoor spaces are vital to personal satisfaction and happiness, even in the face of uncertain times. I hope to help steward that connection.

It makes me so happy that Costa Mesa provides opportunities for adult sports programs, and I want to be a part of finding more ways to connect young adults to the city and its programs.

Maybe most importantly, I hope to learn the vision of the Parks and Community Services Commission (and Department), the City Council, and the residents of Costa Mesa. At the end of the day, we provide services for the people, and I want to be sure that I am a part of allowing residents to shape their own home while maintaining civic and historical integrity.

Q2
Indicate the name of the Commission you are interested in serving on:

As a current PACS Commissioner, I've gotten to know my local parks and community services even better than I have over the 10 years I've lived in Costa Mesa. I am invested in many of the projects that are currently slated to be initiated, including the most recent review of the Open Space Master Plan. As a mother of a daughter who regularly uses the parks, including for soccer, I am interested and invested in helping Costa Mesa grow its parks, especially in areas like my neighborhood where we don't have as much green space as other parts of the city. I am also very interested in helping foster connections between Costa Mesa city government and other local entities, including the University of California, where I work. I have been working with Arlis Reynolds to help forge these connections, and would like to continue the work.

Q4
As a Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? More green space for the neighborhoods where there isn't much! Helping make the upcoming Open Space Master Plan even more responsive to community input, with many opportunities for genuine community engagement. Bringing more history and cultural arts activities to the parks.

I have been a user of Costa Mesa parks since my youth growing up in the 1990’s. I have been a resident and homeowner in Costa Mesa, just south of the Fairview Park (Continental Ave) since 2012. I truly believe that the open spaces provided by parks is truly invaluable for communities like ours. I am a father of two small boys that love Costa Mesa parks, and I especially care for preserving, maintaining, and improving open spaces for our future generations to use. My family has made Costa Mesa our home and I would like to share my time supporting this commission in order to give back to the community.

I am a working professional with 15 years of experience in business operations, with specific focus in the areas of engineering, accounting, human resources, quality assurance, information technology, and facilities/maintenance/security.

My experience is broad and covers a variety of disciplines that I think could be beneficial in serving the community.

I have been actively engaged in Costa Mesa for the past few years and am currently the second alternate committee member of the Fairview Park Steering Committee.

Q3
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached.

Driven by a conviction for public service, I strive to be an active and dedicated citizen in my hometown of Costa Mesa.

I have a deep community service, Project Management, and public relations background. Combined with my commitment to our city, I believe I am the best candidate to serve on the Parks and Community Services Commission.

In the 2022 Election, I ran for the Mesa Water Board. I garnered support from local grassroots organizations to county and statewide groups, but more importantly, I met over 2,000 Costa Mesa residents.

We discussed overlooked local issues like transparency, community awareness, and public services. From there, I implemented a multi-channel campaign through in-person events, digital campaigns, and print communications, which resonated with thousands of voters. It was an honor to run for office, and our residents compel me to build a diverse bench of Commissioners and elected officials.

As a Commissioner, I will continue working to increase community input for projects, advance issues important to residents, and diligently support our exceptional city staff.

In addition, I am a Technology Business Owner and Software Engineer.

As a Startup Entrepreneur, I have spent most of my career working to advance women in STEM. From working with Venture Capital firms to Fortune 500 companies, I have led training programs and boot camps for Female Founders. I have conducted research initiatives for empowering predominantly female portions of the workforce. I have led keynotes globally on how we can uplift underrepresented groups entrepreneurially and in private and public sectors, including government and politics.

These roles have well-prepared me to be a Commissioner, where I can deliver effectively on project management, oversee collaboration between staff and residents, and uphold our government to the highest standards of transparency and creative problem- solving.

In addition, I have firsthand experience in bettering systems from within through a data-driven approach and forging a path of accessibility to include all community stakeholders in important decisions.

Thank you for your consideration.

Q4
As a Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Costa Mesa has a state-of-the-art Parks and Community Services department. As a resident, I know how fortunate I am to live in a city that prioritizes our beautiful, safe public spaces and parks.

The proposition of joining this Commission is exciting, especially in light of our recent funding from the State and County, allowing us to deploy investments in new projects and renovations.

More than a specific project, I am focused on bettering our processes and systems within the Parks and Community Services department. In my career, I have worked with organizations of all sizes to streamline their processes and increase their digital access to their customers. For PACS, this includes optimizing our residents’ experience, from participating in community events to utilizing Park facilities and even requesting permits.

Another responsibility I would excel as a Commissioner in is overseeing Project Management and the financing of projects. No matter the project, ensuring plans are completed on time and within budget is a core duty with which I have extensive experience. I believe enacting a Master Plan with all ongoing, upcoming, and completed projects would benefit the public.

Finally, I would like to see an increase in community engagement and input. As I learned in my campaign, it is not that city staff are not doing enough for residents, but rather residents need to be made aware of all that is available to them. Commissioners should always look for innovative ways to improve the quality of life for our residents and ensure we include them in what we do. I am interested in implementing a multi-channel outreach initiative to hear from residents in person, online, and in public meetings.

If I had to choose a project I am most looking forward to, it would either be adding to the Skate Park at Tewinkle Park or establishing a highly requested dog park in Eastside Costa Mesa.
