GET TO KNOW TERESA 

An Experienced, Committed Leader for Carlsbad

For the past decade I have been fortunate to call Carlsbad my home. In this community, I founded a business, raised a child, taught community college classes, and volunteered for a variety of non-profit causes. I am running for City Council to preserve and improve upon the quality of life we enjoy by focusing on infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and public safety. My 20 years working with government and 10 years as a small business owner equip me with the skills and the expertise we need to get things done. When I serve you as Councilmember from District 4, I will have an open mind and open ears for every Carlsbad citizen so together we can ensure our community is one in which we are consistently proud to live and work.

Below is more information about my business background, leadership experience, and community involvement.
