Tell us about your public service (township boards, committees you sit on): Formerly on the Brick Township Board of Adjustment 2011-2012

Any previous elected office (council, school board, etc)? How many years have you served? None

What conflicts would you have (what won't you be able to vote on) if elected? To my best knowledge, I would not be able to vote on items regarding the Brick Township Police Department. My brother currently serves as an officer.

Tell us about the most important thing you do that has nothing to do with politics or your employment: I volunteer hours to tutor teens seeking their G.E.D. I have a degree in teaching and it is rewarding to aid these students looking to future their education and/or careers.

What will you do if you are elected to council? If elected, the Citizens Building a Better Brick Team will stick to our "Contract with Brick Township Taxpayers." This includes, but is not limited to, restoring the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee which gives our residents a role in the town's finances, giving the township a real voice when it comes to rejecting the irresponsibility of our state government and putting an end to tax manipulation when residents, like ourselves, need the relief.
