I was born in Evanston, the oldest of nine children. I raised my family in Evanston; all three of my kids attended Evanston public schools and graduated from ETHS.

I graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in Physics. After getting my MBA at Kellogg, I became a Tech Executive and Entrepreneur, successfully starting three tech startups, including one pioneering Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database business.

I believe strongly in service to the community and volunteering my time, energy and money.

As your 3rd Ward representative, I will be accessible and responsive to your needs. I will ask for your views and help on major issues. I will work hard to win and keep your support.

Thanks for all the support from my neighbors and friends.

Join the campaign team! We need help canvassing the Ward, knocking on doors, passing out flyers, talking to neighbors.

The best way to have a thoughtful conversation about the issues is with neighbors over coffee.

Tell people you feel the same way as I do about bringing basic common sense to the City’s government by putting a sign in your front yard. Help us get the message out!
