Born and raised in Germany I have been in Sierra Madre since 2008 and immediately fell in love with this beautiful city. I joined meetings at the Sierra Madre Civic Club, served on the board of Sierra Madre Community Nursery School for 4 years including my last one as President of the Board, and currently volunteer at Sierra Madre Elementary School with the PTA and in the classroom. As an avid trail runner I compete at the Mount Wilson Trail Race, join the various Holiday festivities in town with my daughters, and enjoy our festivals and events!
