As commissioner, my focus has been on protecting the environment, increasing public safety, preserving the City’s history and promoting our unique neighborhoods. I work hard to maintain Hollywood’s character while supporting smart, resilient development along its underutilized commercial corridors.
Since becoming a commissioner in 2018, I have been appointed to the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization Board, the Broward County Climate Change Task Force, and the Broward County Condominium Structural Issues Committee. I have been recognized as a Florida League of Cities Home Rule Hero, the Broward County School Board Outstanding Mentor of the Year, and am a Hollywood Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) member. I completed the Florida League of Cities Institute for Elected Municipal Officials and received a Certificate of Achievement from the Broward County Leaders Water and Climate Academy.
I currently serve as a mentor to young women students at Hollywood Hills High School through the Women of Tomorrow program. I am also an officer of North Beach Condominium Association and a graduate of Leadership Hollywood. I have held several volunteer leadership positions in the past with Broward Public Schools Partners In Education, the David Posnack JCC and the local chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.
I have a degree in civil engineering from the Johns Hopkins University and a law degree from the University of Maryland. I continue in my private law practice which concentrates on representing construction companies and am certified in construction law by The Florida Bar. I have extensive experience in preparing and negotiating construction contracts, as well as risk allocation, insurance and bonding. My husband and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary and raised our family in south Florida.
Make Hollywood a model of environmental sustainability for other coastal cities to emulate, particularly in light of looming sea level rise.
Support smart, environmentally sound economic growth along the City’s underutilized commercial corridors
Work to improve the daily lives of residents and to tackle neighborhood issues including short term vacation rentals, derelict vessels, code enforcement, traffic, parking, flooding and petty crime.
