10 years on Cedar Park Planning & Zoning, twice Chair, led 50+ hearings. Former HOA President of a 996-home neighborhood. Apple program manager; former Deloitte tax manager; UT MBA in finance.
Hold weekly open office hours (in person or online) and return calls and emails quickly. Attend HOA meetings. After each Council meeting, post plain-English notes: what passed, how I voted, and next steps.
Water is a key issue for our city. At the city level, we partner, not control, water and power. I’ll do my part with BCRUA and regional partners to bring the deep-water intake online, plan for added treatment and storage, and cut losses with leak detection and pipe replacement. On energy, I’ll coordinate with our electric providers to harden critical facilities and improve outage communication.
1) Recruit and retain police & fire with competitive pay and benefits. Plan and budget for imminent retirements in CPFD. 2) Improve response times by traffic signal priority and fixing congestion hot spots. 3) Grow and enhance our police & fire training facility with needed resources and equipment so that, e.g., police officers need not travel to other jurisdictions for specialized training.
Residents need to get quickly from work to schools, day cares, and sports practice. I’ll prioritize projects that move people: fix choke points, add turn lanes, and synchronize signals. Higher density means more cars, so we must build out carefully. We need to invest now for traffic coming south through Cedar Park: Lakeline, Bell, and Parmer/Ronald Reagan. Congestion is a tax on your time.
I bring resilience shaped by life experience, leadership managing teams and multimillion-dollar budgets, and a strong commitment to community through years of hands-on service and volunteer leadership
I will prioritize accessibility and transparency by holding regular community meet-ups, attending neighborhood events, and maintaining open lines through email, social media, and town halls. Just as important, I will listen actively, follow up consistently, and ensure residents see how their input shapes and influences City Council decisions.
I will work to accelerate BCRUA Phase 2, ensuring a reliable Lake Travis water supply by Spring 2027, even during extreme droughts. In partnership with PEC, we’ll harden substations and circuits to maintain power during winter storms. Using digital metering, we can quickly detect leaks, promote conservation, and enforce the 2026 Stage 3 watering schedule for smarter water use.
My top public safety priorities are keeping neighborhoods safe, reducing crime, and supporting our police and well-staffed first responders with proper training and equipment for faster emergency responses. I’ll also address traffic safety and congestion through road expansions, added sidewalks, improved intersections, and bike trails, creating safer, more efficient streets for everyone.
I’d strengthen infrastructure by promoting smart housing like The Bell District, blending housing with retail to create walkable hubs and reduce car traffic. Launching microtransit shuttles for seniors and commuters, supporting completion of the 183 North Express Lanes, improving key intersections, and finishing the North Fork bike trail will ease congestion and offer safe, efficient alternatives.
