Having moved from New York to Sierra Madre, I have enjoyed the small town feel of Sierra Madre for the last 20 years. Raising my son, who attended both SME and SMMS, I appreciate all the community offers its residents.

February 25, 2025

 Why do you serve on the board of the SMCF?

IIn appreciation for all the community has provided, I happily serve on the board to give back and stay connected with local events.  

​Where else do you volunteer?

I’ve been a board member for over 10 years at Learning Works in Pasadena, which is a charter school for at-risk and in-crisis youth. I also support girls in technology through mentoring and coaching events. 

​What’s your profession? 

With a degree Math and Computer Science, I’ve had a long career in Tech and I’m currently doing complex technology solutioning for a global organization.  I also have a love for fitness, so I teach yoga and Zumba at local gyms in the evenings.

​What attracted you to Sierra Madre?

While living in New York, I’d visit relatives in Arcadia and Altadena each year and I loved driving through Sierra Madre, so it was the target town for me when I moved. 

​What’s your favorite aspect of the town?

When I first moved to Sierra Madre, I was told that it’s 3 square miles and has no traffic lights. I’m happy the town has maintained that quaintness and I love that I can walk to anything I need in town.       

​What’s your favorite local restaurant and why?  

I like all of the restaurants in Sierra Madre, depending on what I want to eat and whether it is for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or treat.

​What’s your favorite local store and why?

Definitely the ACE hardware store! Not only do they have everything I need to deal with my home repairs and garden, they are so helpful whenever I have questions, which I greatly appreciate!!
