Other facts

Running on a platform of grass roots soliciting, I am best working with a diverse group of people and making things happen. Originally from Puerto Rico via New York City, I earned my Bachelor of Arts from the City College of New York. After working and living in eleven cities and countries world-wide, it was time to settle down and commit to local issues. Earning my Masters, Marketing and Finance from the Executive MBA Program at St. Mary’s College of California in Moraga, I've made my mark at several organizations. Colleagues and associates describe me as: a good listener who hears and responds to concerns, an effective leader who encourages all groups to participate in decision making, and a person who is very comfortable with a diverse group of people and organizations. I've heard you! Address Open Space, Traffic & Parking, Maintaining the High Standards of our Schools; and Police/Security Protection to maintain our Quality of Life.
