About

Many of you know me as a local Fort Lauderdale resident who cares deeply about  restoring the health and vitality of our precious waterways, replacing not just repairing our failing infrastructure, clean safe drinking water, and constantly exploring new innovative ideas to mitigate storm surge and flooding.  With a background in television and journalism, I’ve spoken at many City Commission meetings, fighting diligently for the safety and well-being of all who are affected by these important water plights. The City of Fort Lauderdale’s partnership with Miami Waterkeeper Waterway Quality Testing program was one of those long but thankfully successful battles.  10 highly used waterway recreational sites are now being tested  weekly, thoughout our city for bacteria levels, and results are posted on the Miami Waterkeeper website or the SwimGuide App.  

After serving on the Board of Children’s Aid Club, and two terms as President of the Nurmi Isles HOA, I am currently serving on the Board of VoteWater, and the City of Fort Lauderdale’s Sustainability Advisory Board. My goal for Residents for Resilience is to gather reasonable ideas and solutions from top specialists in Eco-Marine resiliency, and share this information with our residents and city leaders.  We plan to  send reminders, suggestions and request to take action on these important timely issues before small problems become a large crisis.  

 Through social media and by publishing this website which includes a message page to send in your thoughts, questions and concerns, I hope you’ll join our Resident for Resilience team.
