My husband and I moved to Cheverly from DC's Cathedral Heights in 1991. We still live in the same home, the old Hargrove House on Forest Road.
I have been on the ballot before. In 2008 I was a candidate for Democratic National Convention Delegate pledged to President Obama. I was honored to receive 83,562 votes from this District to send me to the Denver Convention.
After his election in 2006, Governor O'Malley asked me to serve on his Juvenile Services Transition Team because of my work with Prince George's County's Safe Passages program and Baltimore's Mountain Manor Juvenile Treatment Center.
Currently, as a volunteer, I teach therapeutic horseback riding to special needs students at the Prince George's Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro. This is a very rewarding endeavor and I will continue to donate my time at this facility. (Click here to learn more about this organization called PETS.)
I currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Cheverly Community Market and as co-chair of Progressive Cheverly.
I also serve as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of Joe's Movement Emporium in Mt. Rainier. Joe's is a community performing arts center serving a vital role in central Prince George's County. (I invite you to visit Joe's and experience the creativity that exists there.)
For three sessions of the Maryland General Assembly, I had been employed as a Legislative Aide. It was in this job I became intimately familiar with the inner workings of state and county government.
Previously to my work in Annapolis, I was the Mid-Atlantic Sales Manager for a Vermont organic pie company created by one of the founders of Ben & Jerry's. To be successful at selling bulk products to grocery stores and distributors takes finesse, insight and persistence. Those skills are perfect for representing our Ward and our Town as we work to better our community.
I have had a long successful career in sales and promotion holding jobs with Congressional Quarterly, National Journal and Comtex News Network.

I am also a member of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt Democratic Club, Maryland Democratic Women's Leadership Network, Democracy for Maryland, American Riding Instructors Association, North American Riding for the Handicapped Association and the National Society for Training and Development.
I have also been a mentor with and advocate for Safe Passages, a Prince George's County juvenile offender development program. I also created a book lending library in Cheverly, which we are still trying to get off the ground.
