"I'll Make Sure North Palm Beach
STAYS THE BEST PLACE UNDER THE SUN to Live, Work and Raise a Family"
I have been part of this community for over a dozen years, working to make it a better place. From helping in schools to volunteering on the board of Best Buddies International, serving others has always been a priority.
Focusing on Business
As faculty in business at Florida Atlantic University, I bring the right mix of knowledge and experience. I teach my students to look at the big picture, think critically about business, and set difficult but achievable goals. By revitalizing the US 1 corridor through the recently implemented code and zoning changes, the Village can encourage development and attract new business. I understand what small businesses need to thrive and grow to create jobs and more shopping and dining options. I support North Palm Beach businesses whenever possible (from our family birthday dinners at La Bamba to our accountant and insurance agent). I am proud to have reinstituted the Business Advisory Board that went defunct years before I came on council.
Valuing our Recreational Resources
I have worked to ensure that North Palm Beach residents continue to fully enjoy living in paradise by maintaining (and improving where necessary) the top-notch recreation facilities for golfing, tennis, swimming, field sports, and boating.
Understanding Families and Their Needs
Out of all the places in Palm Beach County, we chose the Village of North Palm Beach to raise our family. My top priority is making sure the community is friendly for every family—from our youngest citizens to our oldest residents—and maintains its small town charm even as North Palm Beach continues to grow.
Families coming together are what makes communities strong. The most important thing to me is family, and I am committed to keeping North Palm Beach a family-friendly community that is "the best place to live under the sun."
