Why I’m Running?

Over the years, I have built strong relationships across Peoria, statewide and nationally that allow me to bring people, organizations, and resources together to solve real problems. I am running now because Pine District residents need leadership that can move from ideas to execution not just hopes and dreams for our district but making those reality.

I have seen well-intentioned plans fall short due to a lack of experience or follow-through. As a nonprofit executive, I have spent my career in execution-focused roles, ensuring that vision and mission are carried out with excellence, accountability, and results. With focused challenges facing the Pine District, I am ready to take the experience, relationships, and collaborative leadership I have built over years of service and put them to work for local families, neighborhoods, and businesses.

I’m ready to serve as a friendly, accessible councilmember who works with people from every walk of life to get things done for the Pine District!
