Drucker says she may be a fresh face on the council, jumping on in November, but not in the city of Boca. I ve been in the community a lot. I ve been serving in non-profit boards, in over 19 boards, giving back. Advocacy is a passion of mine, and community service.
Drucker worked for 13 years in human resources management.
