As a resident and mother in the Helix community, I am committed to serving you and your families by listening to your concerns and being an active member of our community. In supporting projects such as the renovation of our Lake Jennings Camp Grounds, I not only serve our community by maintaining a safe and reliable water supply but by promoting the exploration of our community's surrounding nature which serves us.

I focus on being open to discuss issues within our community and the need to find a balance between environmental protection and ensured access to our resources. I have left this at the forefront of my decision making as it is my responsibility as your representative to accurately present our situation and concerns to those outside of our Helix region.

Thank you for visiting my website...
When I ran for the Helix Water District Board in 2006, I promised to use my experience and knowledge to promote policies that provide a safe and reliable water supply at the lowest cost possible. I have used my position to advocate for said promises and have supported research into new local water supplies, encouraged water conservation outreach and investment in new technologies. As your community representative I have consistently opposed unnecessary water rate increases and policy rate changes, and am willing to use my position to speak to our California and Federal government officials in order to ensure the needs of our community are met.
I will continue my commitment to serve the community by dedicating both my time and expertise in order to manage our most precious resource for our future.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
