MEET MICHELLE
Community • Experience • Leadership
As a mother of three, a Planning Commissioner for the last six years, and a 13-year resident, I am deeply invested in El Segundo, both present and future. My husband Chris and I chose to raise our family here because no other community matches El Segundo’s incredible connectivity.
Great communities do not happen by accident. Balancing a healthy, prosperous, resident-focused community with the increasing pressures of our adjacencies requires substantial planning and strong leadership. I am running for City Council because I have the professional background and personal grit to meet this challenge.
I received a degree in Economics from Princeton and a joint MBA and Master of City and Regional Planning from UNC at Chapel Hill. My academic background is coupled with a twenty-year career in commercial real estate, encompassing financial analysis, negotiations, and community planning.
For the last two years, I served as Planning Commission Chair. I am extremely proud of our work with staff to effectuate policies that address State housing requirements while maintaining El Segundo’s unique character. As your City Councilwoman, I will lead with this solution-focused mindset. And will be steadfast in advocating for our environmental health, our public safety and resident services, and our capital improvement needs.
