remedial reading . Years later , I taught at Chapman University while also serving as a marketing director for a wide variety of national and international clients .
2 . What elected positions and / or appointed roles have you served on in Laguna Beach if any ? I regularly watch City Council meetings to stay current with City government . I ’ ve worked closely with Laguna Residents First over the past three years . I was one of the key members of Councilman George Weiss ’ successful election team . I ’ ve also been active for three years as a community watchdog on Nextdoor , posting alerts such as the one regarding the City Council ’ s attempt to blindside the public and possibly turn the library into a parking lot .
3 . Why do you want to serve on City Council ? I feel developer money has compromised our City government . It is threatening our hometown charm and culture , plus it ’ s become unresponsive to residents ’ needs . I look to restoring balance , transparency , civility and stability to the City Council by focusing on a residents first approach to government .
4 . What are the City ’ s three biggest challenges , and what are your proposed solutions ? Re-establishing balance in the City Council by promoting a residents ’ first form of government – one that looks at serving residents ’ needs , not just those of businesses , developers and commercial landlords .
Restoring transparency and civility to the City Council by pressing diligently for clarity and public information regarding every questionable City Council and staff action .
Preventing overdevelopment and the loss of Laguna ’ s charm by holding projects to ordained standards instead of granting sweeping variances and special

The party starts with an opening reception on Thursday , Nov . 10 . There ’ s a full schedule of inspiring filmmaking , live music , and Q & A with that encyclopedia of stoke , legendary Laguna sports announcer , Pat Parnell , who tirelessly MC ’ s the whole event and then soldiers on at all the afterparties ( someone make sure this man gets fed , please ).
They ’ ll also be an art exhibit , silent disco , food trucks , bars , and parties sweetheart backroom deals . 5 . What are your ideas for addressing traffic issues , parking in Laguna ? At this time , I ’ m waiting to see what the City Council parking committee ’ s consulting firm will recommend . I am opposed to the Presbyterian Church parking structure – it would be way too costly , we ’ d never own it , we ’ d be splitting the profits and it would further promote traffic congestion in town .
6 . What ’ s your stance on Measures Q , R and S . Yes on Q – As long as three developer-backed City Council members can override any ordinances regarding building size , height , intensity of use and parking requirements , Laguna Beach and its residents will be susceptible to overdevelopment . Q sets reasonable , compatible building standards that can help prevent overdevelopment . Because it gives voters a say in approving major projects with massive community impact , it becomes residents ’ only insurance policy against overdevelopment . Developers and the City Council members they influence should not be the only ones who are deciding the future of Laguna .
No on R – Los Angeles labor unions should have no rights trying to control real estate use in Orange County , much less Laguna Beach . This should be left up to local jurisdictions .
Yes on S – Hotel employees deserve to be paid fairly and have safe working conditions .
7 . If not elected , do you plan on staying engaged with the City ? Yes , but I have not fully decided yet in which capacity . I will undoubtedly return to posting on Nextdoor . There are several politically active civic groups I ’ m considering joining . And I will surely work as a marketing director and strategist for like-minded candidates in the next election .
every night . Go to coastfilmfestival . com to purchase your tickets . And if you can ’ t be there , you can view the whole film lineup online from Nov 17 – 27 .
But try and be there in person , with your hometown crowd . Feel the buzz . You ’ ll love Laguna all over again , and know there are thousands of others just like you .
