"For over 20 years this beautiful Town of Herndon has been my home. Herndon has welcomed and embraced me, and the time has come to give back in service, so Herndon can continue to flourish and nurture the lives of incredible residents that share this wonderful town with me. I want to serve in the town council, so that I can standby and make reality, every new possibility that can make this town an even more incredible place to live in.

 

I have always believed in living a compassionate life serving others, as I have done so for the past 20 years through every means possible, including empowering hundreds of women and serving over 3,000 families and individuals in need through my charity, Express Care Inc. I have also settled many families in Herndon through my real estate company Express Realty USA.  

 

It has been my life’s passion to take care of the needs of others and improve lives, which is why I am even more committed to serve you as your Councilwoman. I am excited to join the team."
