I've lived in Tarzana for 13 years and Sherman Oaks for 20 years. My husband Chris and I have a daughter Amy and 2 grandsons, Ben and Colin. Chris and I own two small businesses and a shopping center at the corner of Ventura Blvd and Shirley Ave. Chris stays very busy with work while I spend most of my time volunteering in our community. I am involved in several service organizations. I have been the proud President of the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center since 2003. The Center is the top priority in my community service work. I am the President of the Woodland Hills Kiwanis Club, another excellent community service organization dedicated to helping young children. I am also an active member of the Woodland Hills-Tarzana Chamber of Commerce. My goal for the future is continuing to preserve the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center for future generations to enjoy and remember the hard work and generous community donations that saved the corner from commercial development.
