I have lived in Oakmont since 2007, first part time then full time from 2011. I am a second generation Oakmonter for my parents retired here in 1998. I retired from being an Optician growing several practices, raised two children and worked in my husband’s manufacturing company working with research and development for new innovations with many well known companies.
I have served on the OVA board three terms since 2018, as Vice President and President in 2024. I am running again for I have the experience and feel some projects need to be accomplished. I helped purchase our two golf courses, solar panels, the diesel back up generator. Helped with modernizing the East Rec, and West Rec water damage. I started the first ever Vaccine Clinics in Oakmont bringing in hard to get covid shots during the pandemic. When there were outbreaks I had our County Health Department bring in portable testing stations and we traced the sources, we gave out free testing kits often. July of 2022 I was honored in the Press Democrat with the “North Bay Spirit Award” for having everyone’s back during the pandemic and other feats with the title of “Boomer to the Rescue”. I helped to get the dog park, brought in the Peanuts statues for Charles Schultz played our courses weekly. I was on the first Berger Ad Hoc Committee, did refresh the building, help start the Cannabis Club, President of the Boomers Club, Vice President of the Asian Pacific Heritage Club.
I feel I am a candidate who listens to the community not what one or two people desire but the majority, since I am active here I see the many needs that need to be implemented. Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked, leadership is defined by results not attributes.
