Candidate for
Councilmember; City of Rancho Palos Verdes

I came to the Olympian Hills of Rancho Palos Verdes to improve my endurance and strength as a Masters World Medallist athlete at the age of 50.

As a young woman I attended Stephens College for Women on Scholarship, University of Paris, Sorbonne and University of Wisconsin, Madison in the Visual Arts, Music, Dance, Voice and Theater underpinned with working class values and an appreciation of the joyous beauty of our land from my pioneer ancestors. I continued to travel the world throughout my inner search for service, health and love of humanity.

At mid life my project Health Entertainment, Inc. was accepted at the Wharton Small Business School as the annual project for a Private Placement Document.

My vocational goal in television production is to serve for a Healthier lifestyle for the children of the future, safe communities, and aesthetics though value based programs. Emergency preparedness, arts and athletics with the enhancement of media technology are the thumbnail of my vision for the Peninsula, South Bay and Los Angeles County with my School of Champions and Project Take Heart.

This year School of Champions was a gift prize donor serving the Kiwanis's Children of the World at the Palos Verdes Marathon, and gave free bikes to Peninsula High School's Black and Gold Event, the Rancho Palos Verdes 30th Anniversary Picnic bingo contest, and School of Champions "Art for Bikes Sake" incentive art/athletics competition. I am currently attending the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Community Academy classes and serving on the Rancho Palos Verdes Traffic committee. My service on the Traffic Committee and on a bicycle gives me a birds-eye view of how to mitigate our ever-increasing traffic problems and in particularly the safety issues, we face. See more on this in my Political Statement.

My Dad was an Army Lieutenant who with humor and discipline worked for US Steel in labor relations and contracts with a keen knowledge of the art of collaboration as he raised all 10 children, 5 girls and 5 boys with his beautiful wife of 55 years until her passing in 2000. My fortunate circumstance of being one of 10 has given me the ability to see across the needs of several generations in my growing up and learning the art of collaboration with all 12 family members. To date I believe there are 18 grandchildren. We were raised with deep conviction and appreciation for American values and in the American Dream of hard work and love, and our birthright to choose to enjoy our short time on this wonderful earth.
