Having been involved in the community 22 years, I have long worked for positive goals related to  the community. I now feel that the time has come for me to seek elected office.

I want to bring fresh ideas and positive solutions to McHenry County Board by running for District 3 Board Seat.

During these difficult economic times, it is more important than ever to know who your elected officials are and what they stand for.

I met many of you as I walked door to door.

It is great to discuss the issues and listen to your individual concerns. I am passionate about improving the quality of life and future of McHenry County.

I graduated from McHenry County College after returning to school as a single mother. I then obtained my Bachelors Degree from National Lewis University and went on to obtain my law degree from the John Marshall Law School in Chicago.

I attended school in the evening and worked full time all through the years I attended school.

I met my husband here in McHenry County 22 years ago. We have raised our family and continue to have a vested interest in the community.

I have run a small business, worked my way through college.

After law school I went to work for the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s office and worked side by side the County Board members.

I then went into private practice where I defended civil rights cases.

I am currently defending Cook County in civil rights cases and helping to keep cost down as it pertains to litigation cases.

Public service, however, continues to be an important part of my life. As an attorney I have had many opportunities to lead initiatives, provide input to a balanced budget, and interact with the community in different venues.

I intend on continuing to require diligence and dedication to fiscal responsibility, McHenry County has a budget of nearly $250,000,000 and it requires accountability to the citizens of McHenry County.

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am enthusiast and dedicated, I would like to give the Citizens of McHenry County my very best.

I would appreciate the opportunity to provide the citizens of McHenry County my dedication and support as their Board Representative.

She has scheduled two fund raisers, one in Chicago and one in Prairie Grovv:
