I am a long-time San Leandro resident. As a teenager, I attended Bancroft Junior High and San Leandro High schools. Post college, I lived in the South Bay Area and returned to San Leandro in 1998 to care for an aging parent and have lived here ever since. I am an experienced professional leader with broad experience and a long and successful history of supporting various large-scale Finance and Compliance programs, having worked in both public accounting and private industry. I thoroughly enjoy gardening, caring for my koi pond, and have shared my garden in various BOVIA garden tours in past years.
