Candidate for
City Clerk; City of South San Francisco

Professionally, I have twenty years experience as a Law Office Manager, Paralegal, and Notary Public.

I also have ten years experience as a Planning Commissioner, and many years experience on various municipal boards and commission as listed below.

I have a proven track record of performance and accomplishment with a strong history of working collaboratively with City Council, staff and members of the community.

I have been a member of Soroptimist International since 2001 and have served as a Director of Service. As a Soroptimist I developed a Domestic Workshop for Teens that received international recognition.

I have always been a strong participant in the community life of the city in which I live and have been gratified by the generous recognition given to my community service contributions.

I hope that you will agree that my record of extensive municipal, legal, and managerial experience and strong background of community service has provided me the skills and qualifications necessary to be your City Clerk.

Because I feel it is so important to do the job well and keep current, I have taken the City Clerks training course given by the City Clerks Association of California and have recently joined the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.

I hope that you will feel comfortable in supporting me in my candidacy for City Clerk. Whether you are able to support me or not, I do promise that if I am elected as the City Clerk I would be accessible and visible to our residents and would administer this office of public trust with the utmost professionalism, discretion and integrity.
