I have lived on the Peninsula most of my life and have seen a tremendous amount of change. I attended Palo Alto public schools, graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Political Science and moved back to the Peninsula after college.
After college I worked at the Kainos Home and Training Center for the Developmentally Disabled, during which time I raised funds for the program and helped disabled citizens find jobs in the community. More recently, I have been working with Lois Paul and Partners a high-tech public relations agency.
While growing up, I was impressed with my father's interest in politics, and grew up believing that running for office and serving in office were noble things to do. I still believe that. I want to give back to my community, and have been doing that in a number of ways. Now I would like to do that as a member of the City Council.
