Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a 17 year Lyndon resident, I am passionate about our community and dedicated to making it an even better place for all. With a background in Administrative Justice, I have developed strong skills in leadership, problem-solving, and collaboration.

I believe in the importance of listening to the voices of our residents and working together to address the challenges we face. My priorities include enhancing local infrastructure, supporting public safety, advocating for small businesses, and promoting sustainable development to ensure a vibrant future for our city.

As a three-term Councilwoman for the City of Lyndon, some of my accomplishments include:

- Made first motion to acquire Graymoor Devondale Police.

- Made first motion to approve grant for Bowen Elementary School electronic sign.

- One of four Councilwomen to serve on the Police Headquarters Building Committee. The committee saved the taxpayers over $550,000 while still meeting the wants and needs of the Lyndon Police.

- Earned Level III - Masters in City Governance, KLC

I am committed to transparency, accountability, and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and heard. Together, we can create a thriving community that meets the needs of all its residents.

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?

• Supporting local schools, businesses, and non-profit organizations through collaboration and grant opportunities are extremely important to me
• I support The Lyndon Police Department and it’s efforts to protect and serve Lyndon residents and businesses.
• Community involvement and participation is vital to a successful and safe city. If you’re taking the time to read this, come to a meeting! Caucus Meeting is on the 3rd Monday of the Month and Council Meeting the 4th Monday of the month @ 6 pm.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about ensuring equity in education and healthcare, honoring our Veterans and public servants, and responsible taxation.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

As a Councilmember, we pass ordinances and a budget, that provide funding to ensure public safety, improve infrastructure, and provide garbage, recycling, yard waste, leaf removal, etc Allowing this to happen at the local level ensures QUALITY services.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to my parents. My parents exemplified love, honesty, fidelity, empathy and service. My father served as a Deacon in our Catholic Church, and my mother was a Business Manager at another Catholic Church. They were prison ministers and always working to improve equality and injustice. They taught me at a young age to help others and make this world a better place.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Come to a council meeting and I’ll be happy to share.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity, the ability to communicate with others and to listen to ideas outside of your own.
City Council is only effective when we work together. It is our responsibility to listen to our constituents needs and to make the city the best for everyone through appropriate resource utilization.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

My only political aspiration for a higher political office. Many times people get into politics and try use their position as a means to write their resume for their next political office. I have no ulterior motive or desire other than to make Lyndon the best it can be for everyone.

I am honest, dependable and. trustworthy. I look at my fiscal responsibility to our city in terms of, if it was my own money, would I spend it that way?

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Some of the core responsibilities of a Councilmember are to approve a budget, pass ordinances and to work with one another to ensure the proper management of financial resources.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to leave a legacy of fiscal responsibility to our tax payers, while ensuring public safety.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

It’s not the first historical event that happened in my lifetime, but the one that hit me the hardest was the attack on 911. I was 21 years old at the time.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was tossing pies at Papa John’s. I worked there for about 4 years.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Who Moved My Cheese?

If you have to ask why, you haven’t read the book! I think everyone needs to read this book at least a couple times throughout their life.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Scooby Doo. He gets to solve crimes, ride around in a cool VW van, and eat Scooby snacks.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Thriller by Michael Jackson. I love Halloween and that song gets me in the spirit!

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

I lost my father in 2002. Although it has been over 20 years since his passing, I miss him everyday. Rather than focusing on the sadness, I try to live in his memory and in his image. I believe that serving my community, being a good person, friend, neighbor and Councilwoman, is my father living through me.

Are there any little-known powers or responsibilities held by this office that you believe more people should be aware of?

You have to be able to get along with others and not think you’re the smartest person in the room. No one Councilmember has more power than another. Our power is in our ability to listen, discuss. and vote together.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

I don’t think previous experience in government or politics is important, but I think attending meetings is of the utmost importance! I attended Council meetings for the two years prior to being elected. Attending meetings really helped prepare me for office. In my opinion, that should be a prerequisite for running for office. Reading the meeting minutes is not enough to prepare you for taking office.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

The ability to listen and communicate respectably to others who may not agree wit you. The ability to read and dissect a budget and to ask open-ended questions. The ability to not take political attacks personally, and the ability to see past your own wants and desires, and make the choices best for your city.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the local government?

City Council allows the local cities to keep decisions local.

Tell us your favorite joke.

What is a Scarecrow’s favorite candy? Candy corn!!!

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Financial transparency is extremely important to a healthy and stable city. We all play a vital role in government accountability. One of the strongest pillars of government accountability is through the active participation of our citizens. Come to a meeting!
