I was hired in May of 2000 as Project Coordinator. August 8th, 2000 I was appointed and sworn in as Deputy Clerk. April 12th, 2001 I was appointed and sworn in as Village Clerk by Mayor Linda Soto.

After completing a three-year program of 100 hours of courses related to the duties of clerk I am now a Registered Municipal Clerk and Certified Municipal Clerk which is an international designation in Illinois.

In June 2004 I was elected President of the Municipal Clerks of Lake County for a two-year term. In June 2006 I was elected as Vice President of the Municipal Clerks of Lake County which again was a two-year term.

I absolutely love my job!! I enjoy working with the Mayor, Village Staff, Trustees and working for the residents.
