In Bexley, every neighbor's voice helps shape a resilient future. I'm running for Bexley City Council to champion transparent leadership and long-term investments - from safe, walkable neighborhoods to infrastructure that nurtures local businesses and safeguards our community for future generations.

Why I'm Running
I'm running for Bexley City Council because I believe in the power of neighbors working together and in a local government that reflects our shared values of transparency, equity, and care for future generations.
​
Over the course of my career leading complex transformations across public and private sectors, I've learned how to navigate challenges with empathy, precision, and a deep respect for community. My work has spanned multimillion-dollar government programs, organizational change, and cross-sector partnerships - but the thread through it all has been service: lifting others, solving problems collaboratively, and making sure no one's voice gets left behind.
​
That commitment continues outside the workplace. I serve as a Board Member for Greenleaf Job Training Services, am an active member of The Matriots, and founded the Sisterhood Supper Club to bring together diverse women in support of one another and their communities. These experiences ground me in what matters: people, relationships, and the everyday actions that build stronger communities.
​
My campaign is guided by the belief that Community Matters and You Matter. And I'm ready to bring my skills, experience, and heart into City Hall to serve Bexley with integrity and transparency
