Expand all | Collapse all

I'm a 21-year-old public library employee, part-time college student, and local entrepreneur, running as a first-time candidate for the Michigan House of Representatives. After enduring a once-in-a-century pandemic, and subsequent COVID lockdowns, I graduated from Winston Churchill High School (Livonia) in 2021, and am currently attending Schoolcraft College.
  • I am committed to fostering a Michigan that brings back family-centered values, supports individual liberties, and expands opportunities for everyone.
  • I believe our State has failed its students, allowing them to fall further behind as a result of bad policy. I am eager to work towards providing quality education and leaving no student behind.
  • Our businesses are the backbone of our economy. From 2021 till now, we've seen more and more SMB's shut down or leave our State for good. I believe in making Michigan more business-friendly, investing in the people of this State and becoming self-sufficient.
Families, Students, Small Businesses, Government Ethics, etc.
I'm a people-person by nature and have a strong sense of right and wrong. I'm determined, strong willed, and someone who is willing to fight for what I believe in. I am also someone who refused to be bought.
I would like to leave this world a better place than I found it. We should all strive to leave something greater than ourselves.
I believe that it can be, yes. However, experience is nothing without the right motivations. Some of the worst leaders imaginable are often the most experienced.
The entire purpose of Government is to maintain and defend our rights and liberties. I am a proud supporter of transparency and accountability measures, ensuring a government created by the People answers to the People.
