The native Floridian believes in service. Like her two older brothers, Councilwoman Davis served her country in the military-they were Army, she was Navy-and did her basic training in Orlando.

In 1982, Councilwoman Davis moved to West Palm Beach and began her long career with the Palm Beach County School District, where she remains employed. She continues to take classes at Palm Beach Atlantic College.
Councilwoman Davis became a homeowner in Riviera Beach in 1990, and helped organize the neighborhood association and a street beautification program. She was instrumental in getting county funds to beautify the neighborhood.
In 2004, she ran unopposed in her first attempt at public office.
