A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Let's Make the City Work for All
ABOUT ME
Putting My Experience
to Work for You
I am an attorney and the founder of a local business that helps people to better communicate and collaborate. My mechanical systems engineering background means I see the big picture and the details at once, anticipating problems before they arise and looking for gaps others miss. I have spent a decade as an active civic voice on the Central Coast, creating impactful community organizations and raising important questions with local governing bodies.
I also served as a director on the Oceano Community Services District board, where I gained skills in local governance and an understanding of issues faced by South County communities. I've been a Five Cities resident for ten years, including one year in Shell Beach and the last four in Pismo Beach, where I have observed the city's priorities up close.
​
My goal is to make Pismo Beach a city that works for all of us.
Priorities
Tourism
& Residents
in Balance
Visitors fuel our economy, but residents deserve an equal say.
I'll advocate for a Resident Advisory Panel and formal protections to balance tourism and resident quality of life.
​
Multimodal Transporation
The city's walking and biking plans exist on paper. I'll push to fund the gaps, enact the 2013 Complete Streets plan, and make getting around safer for everyone — on foot, by bike, or with mobility challenges.
​
Climate Change:
Fire & Water
Hillside wildfire risk, flooding, coastal erosion, and water supply are connected threats from our changing climate.
I'll prioritize completing the overdue Safety Element and planning for a new future with these challenges in mind.
​
Senior Support
Nearly a third of Pismo Beach residents are over 65 — yet seniors are often treated as an afterthought in city planning.
I'll push to make our largest vulnerable population a genuine priority.
​
"My vision for the city is a Pismo Beach that works for all of us: tourists and residents, young and old, those threatened by the rising sea and those at risk of wildfire."
Good Government
Good government is transparent, accountable and proactive.
I'll advocate for a city that operates in sunlight with eyes wide open and a plan, not with hope and band-aids.
