A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EILEEN

We have been residents of Livonia for 30 years. Our children attended Livonia Public Schools. We have two grandchildren, and they love our parks, Bates and the Dairy Barn. 

During my five-year tenure as a Trustee for Livonia Public Schools, I applied my expertise in contract management to collaborate with the board on the $195 million school improvement bond initiative. I look forward to sharing that experience with the city council.

Livonia may be a large city, but it still maintains a close-knit, small-town atmosphere where residents look out for each other. I am looking forward to working with citizens, council, and the administration to make our city a better place for all.
