I grew up attending Missouri’s public schools, graduated at the top of my class, and earned a scholarship to Washington University in St. Louis. There, I was one of a small number of women to graduate with a degree in Computer Science. I went on to work as a software engineer in marketing and later in the aerospace industry.
Over time, I realized my greatest passion was helping people and building strong communities. I am completing my MBA in Nonprofit and Public Management and am currently at a local non-profit, helping middle and high school students build skills in public speaking and problem-solving. I also volunteer with a local food pantry and have seen firsthand that need exists everywhere, including right here in District 110.
Today, I live in Wildwood, where my family and I are deeply invested in our community. Those who know me describe me as honest, hardworking, and focused on finding practical solutions. I believe public service should be about listening, showing up, and doing the work. I am running to make sure the voices of District 110 are heard and respected in Jefferson City.- I’m interested in representing all the voters of District 110, regardless of party. In 2024, my district voted in favor of reproductive rights and earned paid sick leave, but our former representative went to Jeff City and voted against us. He chose to play party politics over serving the people, and we deserve better than having our votes ignored.
- We must protect our schools. Our kids deserve strong public schools, and our property values depend on them. Many people in District 110 invested in homes here so their children could be educated in the Rockwood School District. It’s our representative’s job to protect that investment. I’ll fight to stop state money from being siphoned into private vouchers.
- I'm ready to fight for my community’s infrastructure. District 110 pays into our state tax system, but often gets left out. Just last year, my district was denied funding for an essential watershed erosion project. We needed our representative to work as a team player to help us, but he let us down. We need a representative who will work with our local officials and state government to get the job done, not against them.
