I retired from the Dept of the Navy in 2011. I started as a secretary in 1973 and worked my way up the
career ladder as a business financial manager in various capacities to the Chief Financial Officer for the
Program Executive Office for Ships. I have extensive financial, budgeting, and contracting experience.
have a BS degree and a Masters in Public Administration. I served on my neighborhood Homeowners
Association for several years as both a member and as the Treasurer in the 1990's. I designed both my
home in Rockville, MD and our home here at 1024 Ocean Blvd and worked closely with the Architect,
the Contractor,the Engineer,the tradespeople and the COAB permit/approval people.

My husband and I moved to Atlantic Beach in September 2013. We heard about the area from a friend
and were in love with the neighborhood as soon as we saw it—mainly because of the trees and the mix
of home styles and family atmosphere. We purchased our home and had it renovated and added to
prior to moving in. We kept the older portion of the home, removed a garage space that had been
enclosed, and added space well within the boundaries of our lot size. I am concerned with the extensive
destruction of the older homes being razed and replaced with huge homes which is, in my and many of
my neighbors'opinions going to ruin the small town feel that drew us to Atlantic Beach. While the new
homeowners are well within their rights to build within current codes/zoning regulations, it seems that
much of the increased development is being driven business-people versus homeowners. As part of this
community, I would like to be on this committee to be involved in the current and future changes to
Atlantic Beach.
