I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2017 after growing up in the Southeast. What I found here was a vibrant region filled with diversity, energy, and community spirit. When it came time to settle down, Kenmore stood out for its affordability, convenient access to both the Eastside and Seattle, and the small-town charm I remembered fondly from my childhood. I knew it would be a place where my kids could thrive, thanks to the incredible Northshore School District and the strong sense of community among local families.
For 14 years, I co-owned a small business, which gave me firsthand experience in balancing strategic growth with the well-being of the people who make that growth possible. I also served as an Ambassador with the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce where I was honored with Ambassador of the Year in 2023. Running a business teaches you to listen closely, make informed decisions, and be accountable for results.
That’s how I see public service, especially at the local level. Serving on City Council means being responsible for the direction of our city while listening to the voices of every resident.- I believe everyone deserves access to safe, affordable housing and I believe the best path forward combines smart government policy with the innovation and efficiency of the private sector. I want to help create a housing plan that works to increase supply, protect tenants and homeowners, and build stronger, more inclusive communities without over regulating or overspending. Housing isn’t just about shelter it’s about stability, opportunity, and connection. When people have a place they can afford to live, close to work, schools, and transit, the whole community benefits. Businesses thrive, school districts are stronger, and residents are more likely to stay and invest in their neighborhoods.
- Every decision we make today about housing, transportation, public safety, parks, jobs, and education shapes the world our children will inherit tomorrow. That’s why we must keep children at the heart of every policy, every investment, and every vision for our community’s future. If we want a strong, resilient community tomorrow, we need to prioritize our children today. I believe that investing in the next generation means creating a community where kids feel safe, supported, and inspired to thrive. That includes access to after-school programs, youth recreation opportunities, and public spaces that foster connection and growth. Let’s make sure they’re not an afterthought they’re the starting point.
- A robust city center is the heartbeat of a thriving community. It creates jobs, drives innovation, and funds the services our residents rely on. But growth doesn't happen by chance it requires vision, leadership, and strategic investment. That’s what we’re missing today. Kenmore has tremendous potential, but right now, our city center lacks the coordinated planning, infrastructure, and support systems that attract and retain high-quality businesses. We’re falling behind our neighboring cities that have embraced public-private collaboration and future-focused planning.
They also instilled in me a guiding principle: always leave things better than you found them. For them, work wasn’t just about a paycheck, it was about character. They taught me that how you show up, the effort you put in, and the pride you take in your work are direct reflections of who you are. Those lessons have shaped not only how I approach my career, but also how I serve my community today.
I believe we’ve drifted away from the art of conversation in our society, and yet, deep down, people are craving community and genuine connection. My legacy, I hope, will reflect my willingness to put myself out there. To sit down with people who think differently than I do, to listen with respect, and to seek understanding. I want people to say that I led with openness and humility, that I built bridges instead of barriers, and that I worked to leave our community stronger and more united than I found it.
