Biographical Highlights

Almost 20 years in corporate financial planning, and now small business owner, artist and free speech activist. In corporate life I worked in fast paced, chaotic situations each day that presented constant re-prioritization of duties in order to consistently perform above standard. Uniting, and focusing, and inspiring tasks force, team members and inter-department participants were and remain my strengths.

Editor of Venice Spirit Speaks Newsletter which is collective of artists, performers, and activists to bring awareness to the celebrations and the challenges on Venice Boardwalk.

Member of Venice Beach Free Speech Coalition which is a volunteer group of activists that regularly exercise Free Speech activities on Venice Boardwalk, bringing awareness about the challenges that squeeze Free Speech and by default ignore Commercial Vending. Activities involve engaging with CD 11's Council person and team, LA Park and Recreation, LAPD, and Artists, performers and vendors to bring out positive change and preserve the 1st Amendment rights of all on Venice Boardwalk.

Member of Homeless Against Homelessness. A grassroots group of activists that advocate, educate and assist homeless within Venice. I, in addition to other members and groups, spoke recently at the Coastal Commission Meeting in June 2009 against the City of LA's proposal to implement Overnight Parking District Permits. The Commission voted 9 - no to 1- yes against the City's request which was a big win for our community.

3) Please describe your vision for serving as GPUS Delegate including addressing the job description for GPUS Delegate.

Because there are an expanded number of delegate and alternate positions allotted the California delegation and it is in the interest of all Greens in California to be fully represented, I am interested in serving in the process that the GPUS is engaged in, especially in the nomination of the Green Party US presidential candidate.
