My husband Jim, a Marine Veteran, and I moved to Flagler Beach in 2000. We had the opportunity to move anywhere, and chose Flagler because we fell in love with it! We've been blessed to have our families move here as well.
I truly believe Flagler County is a unique community that deserves smart, well-planned development. My goal is to bring a government that represents the taxpayers to our wonderful community. Working with numbers and budgets for much of my professional life, I have the ability to question expenditures and wrestle with some of the difficult issues. Accountability only works when the leadership is accountable.
My formal education includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Medical Technology. I worked in medical laboratory and medical sales while working on an MBA degree from Western New England College. I was an adjunct professor at Delaware Technical College. In preparation for my move to Florida, I studied and earned an Accounting degree from DelTech. My work experience includes management, sales, marketing and accounting.
I've also been very involved in every community that I lived in. Locally, I served as the President for the Rotary Club of Palm Coast and Flagler Beach and the Governing Board for the The Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center (former Flagler Auditorium). I am a founding board member for Flagler Open Arms Recovery Services. I currently serve on the Fellowship of Christian Athletes board.
Public service is a passion of mine. I served as an elected official in Flagler Beach government for 9 years. I have had many accomplishments as an elected official. Holding taxes during a bad economy was easy; maintaining it during good times was not. I voted against tax increases several times. My committee work included Economic Development, Investment and the Beach Management Plan committees. I participated on grants from the TDC and the St John’s River Management District.
Serving on the Flagler County Board of County Commission is yet another way to serve the people of the community in which I live. My voting record will show a conservative approach. I research arguments and information about decisions that need to be made. Knowledge about an issue is imperative. I understand the time and the energy commitment needed in to be an effective commissioner.

My efforts will always be to maintain your quality of life while keeping taxes low.
