Education
- I attended public schools in Fairfield, studied Art & Architecture as an undergraduate, and hold an MFA in Regional Planning from California Institute of the Arts, and an MBA in Finance from UCLA. I hold certifications from NYU in Real Estate Finance.
I have been a resident of Newtown for 28 years and a lifetime resident of CT. I moved from Fairfield to join family members who shared my desire for year round outdoor activities and a rich heritage of co-operative community building. I am committed to participating in the preservation of our local traditions and participatory government.
Issues that I feel are important to Newtown:
- Fairfield Hills Master Plan including mixed use public and private enterprises
- Conservation Master Plan that respects private property rights and integrates Planning & Zoning rules and regulations
- Development Master Plan incorporating industrial and commercial expansion while building consensus within the residential community
Experience
I have a professional background in real estate development and finance, and have spent many years before Planning and Zoning boards across the country. I sit on several boards in commercial real estate and work for International Corporate Real Estate companies in Europe and the Far East. I am currently based in Danbury which now allows me to participate in local government.
