How will your qualifications best serve the citizen advisory group that you are applying for,and why do you wish
to serve on this group?`
Boating,leadership,and involvement are the mainstays of my life. I would hope to raise the awareness of locals
with the work that the Harbor Commission does,and get them involved.
My qualifications will best serve the Harbour Commission because I'm a local who cares. Over the years I've
became involved in multiple issues with positive outcomes. Both my personal and professional background has
been all about engaging and supporting people—while making positive change.
For example: 'The Fuel Dock Party'in 2016 was an effort to maintain access to fuel for boats locally. We kept
the Fuel Dock+raised $15,000.for our local Huntington Harbour Sailing Foundation Program for local
youth. I believe there are similar opportunities available,e.g.,working with the current CSULB research team
addressing Oyster Restoration for improved water cleanliness along our coastline.
As a wife&mother of two successful&educated daughters,and an active community participant for years, I've
always enjoyed getting involved+know many people locally to garner support.
2013-2016 Built a new waterfront home in Huntington Harbour, Christiana Bay&maintain our boat on our own
dock in the I larbour.
2017—Cruise Underway to Baja Area Rally(CUBAR)for 8 months in Mexico(received Longest Voyage Trophy
from LBYC). 1 have much experience being at sea with navigation,radio,AIS,logistics,etc. -with my terrific,
highly supportive husband, Captain Kurt.
