She writes:

I am a high school mentor at Forest Hill High School working with teenagers who are considered “high risk” for dropping out. I work to motivate these young people to use school resources to gain skills in the construction trades. My previous employment was with the Palm Beach County Cooperative Extension Service where I worked for five years creating community gardens, grant writing and spearheading free youth programs throughout the Palm Beach County Urban Corridor. I am interested in working with community groups to improve our community putting our skills and minds together for the benefit of all.

I was a member and Chair of the Stakeholders Advisory Committee, a City Commission appointed position to help ensure citizen involvement in the Master Plan process. I am also involved with the Lake Worth Global Justice Group working to educate elected officials and residents on various issues including free trade, immigration and affordable housing.

I bike to work every day . . . and City Hall too!
