As a local Firefighter/Paramedic for over 28 years, I’ve seen people on their best and worst days. Whether it’s a horrible fire, vehicular accident, or medical emergency when our residents need the most help, or providing safety education to preschoolers, and discussing senior fire and fall safety to our older residents I am here to serve. Every day, I am in the community. I value the opportunity to keep serving DuPage County as a Board Member and fight for fair and equitable policies. After serving 4 terms in the position of Carol Stream Village Trustee, and currently, in my 2nd term as a County Board member, I am fortunate to have opportunities to speak with residents about the needs of our community. My experience and compassion in this role have allowed me to take serving our residents to a whole new level. The past few years have been hard on our community; I've seen the devastation firsthand in my role as a Firefighter/Paramedic and as a County Board Member. Let’s work together and ensure that we have a county board that will fight for a better future for everyone.
