I came to Community Transit in 2018, after decades of managing my own businesses, and working as a fixer for a large book store chain in Los Angeles. As much as I loved running my own businesses, I wish I had found Community Transit sooner! My goal, for as long as I am here, is to make this an increasingly great place to work. Especially today, as all the Locals in ATU are dealing with the increasing violence against our front line workers, I want to be a part of addressing and ultimately implementing solutions.

My focus is and will always be the safety and benefit of our members. I prefer to work collaboratively, but I will fight if that is what is called for. As your Recording Secretary, communication is of paramount importance. Where there is a vacuum, misinformation will fill the space. Please feel free to call, text, or email me with any questions. Visit our website and Facebook page for updates. And please text ATU1576 to 47400 for important updates. No spam, I promise! I look forward to working together!
