Community Service Experience:
I served on the Pleasanton Parks & Recreation Commission for nine years and several more on the Bike, Pedestrian and Trails Subcommittee. During my time on the Commission, including two terms as Chair, we delivered many valuable amenities to the community, including Bernal Phase 1 and 2, Cubby’s Dog Park, an expansion of the Pleasanton Tennis Park and several neighborhood parks, including Stoneridge, Rotary and Harding. We also added new trails and improved our roadways for cyclists and pedestrians.
I’ve worked with the Council to set priorities and with city staff to plan projects, including the upcoming Community Farm at Bernal and the Lions-Wayside redevelopment. I’m particularly proud of my contributions to the long-term planning of our Park & Rec system, including the Park & Rec Master Plan and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. As a member of the Park & Recreation Commission, I also served on the Heritage Tree Board of Appeals and the Public Arts Subcommittee. I consider my time on these commissions to be among the most rewarding experiences of my time in Pleasanton. Update:
Although I was unsuccessful in my bid to serve on the Parks, Recreation and Trees Advisory Commission for the City of Napa, I remain committed to finding an opportunity to give back to my community. I rediscovered my love for libraries during the pandemic and have become a frequent user of the Napa library. These are vital community services that provide much-needed programming for our residents. I would be honored to support the system's mission to enrich people's lives through books and information.
Thank you for your consideration!

I ran for Pleasanton City Council in 2018 and considered it to be a very rewarding experience. I have traveled to Zambia in support of CAMFED in 2007, a non-profit organization that provides financial and social support for marginalized girls to attend and thrive in primary and secondary school. I also led two teams for Habitat Humanity builds in Brazil (2012) and China (2014).

What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
During my time on the Park & Rec Commission in Pleasanton, I was most interested in creating a long- term plan that would support the future development of amenities to the community. The plan is still being implemented today. I would enjoy seeing a project from ideation to planning to development to completion for the Napa County library system.
What activities of this board are least interesting to you? Although I ran for city council, I have learned over time that I am not a fan of highly political environments.
I simply want to do what's best for my community and be of service where I can.
What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented? The Napa County Library offers a massive amount of programs to promote literacy, provide access to technology, and help people engage with their neighbors. I would take the time to learn about opportunities to improve existing initiatives and partner with commissioners and staff to develop enhancements.
How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)? I'm a consensus-builder and enjoy engaging with all stakeholders to develop solutions. I would put in the time to be fully up to speed on the many facets of a project and partner with staff to represent the community's point of view. As an advisory body, I would take opportunities to speak to our elected representatives to advocate for programs, when appropriate.
Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest if you are appointed to this board?
No

Raising 4 children in Napa, the library has been our go-to spot.

What is your understanding of the role and responsibility of this board? To be a community advocate for the library by helping to determine what programs are needed, changes that may need to be made and where to find the funds necessary to keep the library running.
Have you ever attended a meeting of this board? If so, how many? No
What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
I am most interested in programming especially for teens, as well as budgeting.
What activities of this board are least interesting to you? N/A
What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented? I would like to see more teens/tweens using the library resources. I would also like to see some programming for seniors around technology and access to online media.

In a dream world have a media wing with access to items like a music/video studio, newer technology such as 3-d printers, but of course, I'm sure is not in the budget.
