I have lived in Tarzana for 15 years with my husband Ron of 31 years. We have two daughters and two grandsons. I have served on the Board of Directors for the Tarzana Property Owners Association for two years. My focus has been on restoring blighted areas by utilizing City resources.
I have served on both the Tarzana Neighborhood Council Land Use Committee since 2004 as Secretary and the Subcommittee to Review Topham /Oxnard Corridor as Secretary. I was appointed to the Tarzana Board Of Governors in December 2005 and elected to the board in November of 2006. I was appointed as Chairman of the Outreach Committee and Election Committee.
I am cofounder of the organization Tarzana Residents Against Poor Property Development which formed in 2003. The organization is actively involved in fighting undesirable projects that do not serve the neighborhood and community. We advocate voicing your opinions and being involved in the decision making process. We believe that preservation and proper planning are the key elements in maintaining a balanced community.

I grew up in Tarzana and I went to
Tarzana
Elementary School
and Portola Junior High. I joined TPOA and have been on the Board of Directors TPOA for five years. I joined the TPOA Board of Directors to work with the city to help beautify our public areas in Tarzana with trees and plants. I always felt that we should volunteer to serve our community to make it better for all of us. In the past, I have worked with the Junior Chamber of Commence teach business classes to high school students in Los Angeles as part of their economic classes. I have owned a television production company in
Burbank
for twenty years and produce celebrity documentaries for cable channels. I also produced video for major corporations for internal purposes. I now live close to
Tarzana
Elementary School
and have two daughters that are in college.

I moved to Los Angeles with my domestic partner and our dog, in the 1980s for three reasons: first, to enjoy the wonderful weather; second, for the economic opportunity, and third, for the Southern California lifestyle. And I must say, that despite the current economic stress, we have never regretted our decision to become Californians. I have previously lived in Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, PA, Richmond, VA, and Ridgefield, CT. I served many years in Philadelphia on a neighborhood board of directors and on a zoning committee. After a few years of teaching, I decided that real estate investing and sales were preferable occupations for me. So, here we are in Tarzana for the past thirteen years – and very happy! I believe that a strong homeowners association is necessary to protect the character of Tarzana as a wonderful place to live and work.
