Candidate for
Member Council; Village of Glendale

My husband, Tim, and I moved to Glendale in 1984. Here we raised our two children, Erin and Brian. Both attended local schools & were valedictorians of their graduating class, both graduated from The United States Military Academy at West Point, and both served as officers in the United States Army. Erin is now a civilian, married to Ravi, a newly-retired career marine; Brian is currently deployed on his third tour of Iraq, in Kirkuk.
Tim, an architect, served the village for 11 years as a member of our Glendale Planning and Historic Preservation Commission, as well as has worked with many residents as they planned additions or renovations on their homes.
I taught Junior High English for 15 years at Landmark Christian School & Writing at Southern Ohio College. I currently teach at Miami University and for the graduate departments at Indiana Wesleyan University and The College of Mount St. Joseph.
My husband & I volunteer at church teaching Junior High Sunday School and as coordinators of the local admissions efforts for the United States Military Academy at West Point.
I was elected to council in 2004 and selected by council to serve as vice mayor in 2007. I feel privileged to serve residents of the Village of Glendale in that capacity.
I am running to retain my seat on Glendale Village Council because I feel that as an educated, intelligent, grounded, consistant, fiscal conservative I have skills that benefit the village. I am committed to continue to provide the Glendale Quality of Life my family, neighbors, and fellow residents wish to provide for our families and their future.
