EXPERIENCE
As a teenager, I became involved in local and national politics working behind the scenes on critical human rights issues. I helped my dad as he fought for the rights of State retirees to keep their pensions and to get the services they worked so hard to receive. I helped to get petitions signed to make North Charleston a city.
I have practical experience serving as the secretary for Palmetto Gardens Neighborhood Council for over 9 years. We implemented crime watch programs, community clean sweeps, and more.
I have worked for over 30 years at Charleston Animal Society which has brought me into contact with many businesses and individuals. I have participated in a variety of community projects and lent my expertise to many causes. My creative nature, ability to listen and love of my community are my greatest assets and will help me to be a voice for all the citizens throughout our city.
