InfoMy husband Jack and I have had the pleasure of calling Mesa home for more than fourteen years. Like you, we love Mesa and all it has to offer – its small town feel, its urban conveniences and, of course, its friendly people. Mesa is truly a wonderful place to call home.

Jack and I are pleased to have raised our two boys, Kyle 16 and Sean 14, here. They love Mesa as much as we do!

I grew up in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, a working class suburb of Detroit. My father emigrated from Italy in 1953 after his service in WWII and my mother was a first generation American born in Detroit to Austrian immigrant parents. My parents instilled in me a strong sense of the importance of community service

After graduating from Michigan Technological University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, I worked for General Motors and TRW, a major automotive industry supplier. Our TRW responsibilities took us to England for five years. Being away from the United States gave us a real appreciation for home. Fortunately, TRW transferred us back to the United States and Mesa’s sunshine.

Since coming home, I have been active in Mesa civic affairs. I served as co-chair of Citrus Area Homeowners. I was chair of the city’s Board of Adjustment and spent two years on the Mesa Leadership Training and Development program including one year as curriculum chair.

Jack, Kyle, Sean and I are active members of Lighthouse CitiChurch.

I am pleased to have this opportunity to run for the Mesa City Council and would be honored to have your support.
