I was raised in Williston, where I currently live with my husband and son.
  • My agenda is the people's agenda. I am collecting data at town hall meeting to determine what my constituents need.
  • District 91 needs change, we have been left behind way too long while other areas of South Carolina has prospered.
  • The education in District 91 needs to improve. We need to have every opportunity that we can for our children, they are our future.
I am very passionate about education, our children, healthcare, veterans, and crime.
Honesty, integrity, the ability to listen and compromise
I remember watching on tv, President Reagan being shot. I would have been 5 years old.
My first job was working at my family's bakery. The bakery was in business for 25 years. My first non-family job was at the Barnwell County Sheriff's department. I started working there my senior year of high school and continued through college.
Yes, I do. We have to work together to make South Carolina a better place.
