Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Senior Content Specialist in the technology sector, where I design large-scale education programs focused on cybersecurity, data, and artificial intelligence. My work requires strategic thinking, collaboration, and the ability to translate complex challenges into practical solutions. I am running for City Council because I care deeply about my community and believe local government should work for renters, working families, and residents who are finding it harder and harder to get ahead. Oshkosh deserves leadership that listens, plans responsibly, and focuses on improving everyday quality of life.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Quality of Life Matters. Safe streets, walkable neighborhoods, strong parks, public art, and reliable infrastructure aren’t luxuries, they’re what make Oshkosh feel like home. I want to invest responsibly in the things that make daily life better: safer pedestrian crossings, bike infrastructure, youth spaces, and vibrant public places. Small improvements add up to a stronger, more connected city.
• Affordability & Housing Stability. As a renter, I understand rising costs firsthand. We need practical solutions that expand housing supply, encourage responsible development, and support working families without raising the tax burden unnecessarily. I support smart growth, creative housing options, and policies that keep Oshkosh accessible to young professionals, families, and seniors alike.
• Transparent, Thoughtful Leadership. I will listen first, do the homework, and communicate clearly. I’m interested in solutions. That means evidence-based decisions, long-term planning, and collaboration across differences. Whether you agree with me or not, you will always know where I stand and why. Oshkosh deserves steady, proactive leadership focused on the future.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m most passionate about policies that improve everyday quality of life. That includes housing affordability and stability, walkable neighborhoods, safe streets, public transit, parks, and thoughtful infrastructure planning. I care deeply about making Oshkosh a city where working families, renters, seniors, and young professionals can afford to stay and thrive.
