I grew up in Highland Park. Eleven years ago, I returned with my husband, Rob, to raise our four children in this wonderful town. I have a deep love for Highland Park and its rich, diverse community. I am an attorney who has spent many years working on a broad range of commissions, boards, and committees serving on behalf of our City, our schools, our Park District, and Moraine Township. I know our town and its issues, as a resident, as a parent bringing up my children here, and as a community volunteer and advocate.
