I am a lifelong resident of DeKalb County. I was raised by a public educator and a female business owner who taught me that the most important thing someone can do in their life, is to leave the world a little bit better than when they found it. That value system lead me to the path that I am on today. I began my political journey in the District Office of Congressman John Lewis, where I learned the importance of serving with love, courage, and kindness in your heart. I spent two years working on the county level here in DeKalb, where I focused on how to serve the constituents of our county best. After the 2018 elections, I worked on the Voter Protection and Legal team at Fair Fight Action, where I worked to help those who have had their access to the ballot box threatened. All of these experiences have taught me how to serve the community that raised me. I am a homegrown leader who is prepared and excited to advocate for the people of Georgia.
  • My candidacy brings a new generational perspective.
  • My candidacy brings a homegrown perspective.
  • I am unafraid to propose progressive legislation.
Voting Rights: Everything stems from this most fundamental right. In our state and across the nation, people's access to the ballot box has been threatened. From four hour waits to voter roll purges, we have seen it all. I have heard the stories of many Georgian's who had this right stripped from the. Without the protection of all voters, we will not have elected leaders that accurately represent the desires of the public.

Quality Public Education: I am a proud product of public schools. I was raised by a public educator. Public education is one of the most valuable resources for providing opportunities to all children. One's zip code should not determine the quality of their education. We need leaders who advocate for teachers, support staff in our schools, and students.

Gun Reform: I am of the generation that has seen mass shooting after mass shooting. My peers and I have lived with the question of "will I be next?" for as long as we can remember. I have been in a school during an active shooter drill. I have been a student on campus after the campus carry law was passed in Georgia. When elected, I will propose legislation that requires a licensing process for all gun owners. This process will include physical training as well as an educational component. To obtain the license, you must complete the course and pass the tests. Gun owners should have a proper understanding of gun safety and use.

Congressman John Lewis. He is a man who has put himself on the frontlines to protect the rights of all people for his entire life. I grew up hearing him say, "If you see something that is not right, not fair, or not just, you have a moral obligation to do something." The first time I heard him say it in person was when I was just a kid at my father's graduate school commencement, where he was the keynote speaker. Little did I know that one day I would have the honor and privilege to work for him. He is one of the most exceptional people I have ever known, and every value that I bring to my role in government is rooted in his teachings. I am here to make fearless change so that we all can live in a more equitable and just society because of Congressman Lewis. I have also never known a more genuine and compassionate human. Sometimes in the world of politics, that can be hard to find. Through his honesty and morality, he showed me that staying true to yourself and your values is the most important thing you can do as an elected official, and the moment that you can no longer do so, is the moment you must step away. I will take every lesson that I have learned from him with me for the rest of my life.
To be an advocate and to legislate. We can agree on policy all day long, but someone elected to this position needs to listen to the voices of the community and produce something with that feedback. Without actually creating legislation, leaders in this position are doing a disservice to the people that believe their voices are being heard. We have to be at the forefront of solution building.
9/11 is the first historical event that I remember in my life. I was about five years old at the time. I remember the feeling of sadness and fear. I also remember the monumental feeling of unity following the attacks. My early years, as well as my understanding of patriotism, were shaped by this event. Everything changed after that day.
My first job in politics was with Congressman John Lewis. I spent over three years in the District Office. This job will forever be the best job I have ever had. In 2016 they were holding open interviews for two days to hire for the job. I showed up an hour and a half early on the first day, and that is the single greatest decision I have ever made in my life. My hero and Congressman became a mentor to me. I consider the entire staff to be family. Without this job, I would not be where I am today.
To Kill a Mockingbird. This is a story of compassion and integrity. Knowing what is right when everyone tells you it is wrong.
Comfort at the ballot box. So many Georgian's have had their right to vote threatened. People are disenfranchised and not counted. People deserve to know that their voice matters. We will continue to elect representatives who do not correctly reflect the desires of the people if we do not start creating solutions. Building trust and engaging voters, in my opinion, is one of the biggest challenges our state faces as we move into this next decade.
Absolutely. Relationships build effective leadership. No single person knows everything. Having genuine relationships is a precious resource and allows a legislator to see more than one perspective. Often we can all get stuck in our ways, but new information and new opinions that are shared with us allow us to expand our horizon. I do not think that someone without the ability or desire to forge relationships would be an effective leader.
While canvassing, I met a woman in Panthersville whose family had lived in the same house for generations. When I knocked on the door, I was looking for her father, who is older and receives at-home medical care. She told me that she was renovating the house next door so that she could keep her family together in the neighborhood that built them. Knowing how much her community meant to her further fueled my desire to make sure that people who are tied to the places that they call home can remain there for as long as they desire.
