Integrity, Accountability and Transparency
Through my work in community engagement, I have witnessed the significant impact that active participation can have—whether as a volunteer, board member, or elected official. When the Trustee position on the West Bloomfield Township Board became available, I recognized an opportunity to continue my service and drive positive change for our community. My commitment to integrity is unwavering, and my sole focus is on creating a better West Bloomfield that serves all residents.
Protects Our Natural Assets
Our lakes, woods, and parks are our legacy to protect and defend. The flora and fauna of West Bloomfield are integral parts of our ecosystem. As a lakes community, we have unique opportunities to contribute to the health of regional watersheds, from monitoring 26 lakes to responsibly managing storm water and runoff. Our wetlands provide critical habitats for fish, waterfowl, and wildlife; they purify polluted waters and mitigate the destructive power of floods and storms. Woodlands play a vital role in cleaning air and offer habitats for countless creatures. I will fight to preserve the natural legacy of West Bloomfield.
Inclusive Community Connections
I will continue to promote community engagement to ensure that every resident of West Bloomfield feels safe, respected, and included. I will always listen, be open to learning new ideas, and welcome all opinions as we enhance our community.
Fosters Civic Engagement
I will continue to promote our outstanding WB Parks and Rec having proudly served as a Commissioner, celebrate the new community recreation center, and support our award-winning public library. Programs like the Junior Commissioners demonstrate a Township-wide commitment to engagement, as youth enjoy valuable hands-on experience in local governance, environmental-related projects, and community service, preparing the next generation to actively participate in local elections.
Business Experience
For 27 years, I managed various functions in a family business, including human resources, IT, facility maintenance, leasing, and payroll. I understand what it takes to run a successful business and effectively manage an organization through teamwork, outstanding customer service, creative problem-solving, financial oversight, and ethical integrity. I support good governance, ensuring that residents are informed of all requirements in a timely, clear and respectful manner manner.
Will Deliver Resources for Public Safety
As a member of Temple Israel, my gratitude and appreciation for our first responders is unwavering. Their commitment to community engagement through their pledge to protect and serve, alongside their bravery, integrity, and compassion, will always be remembered. I stand in support of our highly trained first responders who are dedicated to ensuring the safety of every resident, every visitor, and every member of our faith-based institutions, especially during local elections and when addressing issues within the West Bloomfield Township board.
Dedicated Volunteer
I began volunteering as a Brownie leader and a room mom in 1997 when I moved to West Bloomfield. My involvement continued on the WBHS Senior All-Night Party. In 2016, I transitioned into the political sphere, and in 2018, I led the local VNP canvas for nonpartisan redistricting. I was part of Indivisible. In 2023, I was appointed as a Planning Commissioner by then-Supervisor Steve Kaplan, and I was later elected a Parks Commissioner. With my extensive civic experience and a strong commitment to community service, I have a long history fostering community engagement.
