I’m not part of a political machine. I’m a public servant who understands the urgency of the moment. Our residents are navigating flooding streets, unreliable services, crumbling infrastructure, and unfulfilled promises. I’m running to raise the standard: to modernize city government, demand real results, and ensure all communities—not just the well-connected—benefit from public investment.
Guided by the principles of ambition and accountability, I believe we must reimagine how New Orleans operates: investing in long-neglected neighborhoods, enforcing existing laws fairly, and making city systems more transparent and responsive. I bring a fresh perspective, a deep love for this city, and the independence to challenge a status quo that is failing too many of us. I’m ready to do the hard work of governing because our future depends on it.- 1. Ambition & Accountability for a Better New Orleans: I’m running to raise the standard for how our city operates. We must move beyond deferred maintenance and political gridlock to deliver modern, equitable infrastructure and services with real transparency and results.
- A Teacher’s Perspective, A Public Servant’s Commitment: As a 15-year educator in New Orleans public schools, I bring deep understanding of how policy impacts people. I know how to listen, solve problems, and lead with both pragmatism and heart. I care about solving problems and I am committed to doing the work, no matter how small the issue or how large the challenge. I am excited to dig into the root causes of problems and find practical solutions to benefit everyone.
- 3. Government That Works for Everyone—Not Just the Well-Connected: I’m not part of a political machine. I’m committed to disrupting the status quo and making sure city government serves all residents, not just insiders or special interests. If we want to attract investment and keep residents here, we need to create opportunities for everyone. We can do that by making sure our government systems operate efficiently for everyone. No one should need to "know a guy" in safety and permits to get their application completed in a timely manner. I'm committed to improving transparency and consistency in NOLA city government.
Ambition means refusing to accept dysfunction as inevitable. It means asking more of our institutions, our budgets, and our leaders—pushing beyond basic service delivery to pursue transformative solutions for infrastructure, public safety, climate resilience, and economic equity. Ambitious leaders don’t settle for the lowest common denominator; they build coalitions, bring data to the table, and stay focused on long-term impact.
But ambition without accountability is meaningless. That’s why I believe strongly in measurable goals, transparent processes, and enforcement of the rules already on the books. Accountability means city government works not just in theory but in practice: services delivered on time, permits processed fairly, and promises backed by follow-through.
As a veteran public school teacher, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when systems fail—and I’ve also seen what’s possible when people work together to fix them. Elected officials must be clear-eyed about what’s not working, honest about the resources available, and committed to adapting and improving with every opportunity.
