I earned my bachelor's degree from DePaul University and a Master's Degree in Business Administration and a Masters's Degree in Management and Organizational Behavior both from Benedictine University.
I have multiple certifications in Human Resources Management, Project Management, Six Sigma Black Belt, and Change Management, all of which, will be used by me when I am elected as a representative for the State of Illinois.
I am looking forward to representing voters in the 98th District in the Illinois General Assembly
- Of major concern to families, seniors, veterans and residents of my district are taxes on food, fuel and basic necessities. This and rising inflation have reduced discretionary income and savings eroding their confidence is the current legislative body. Businesses and residents are leaving the state because of high taxes. I will work to reduce taxes.
- Current legislation is soft on crime with no cash bail starting in January of 2023. This and other aspects of the law need repealing.
- Voter integrity is high on the list of the residents of the district. I will work to keep voter records matching current voter registrations.
Parental and Family Rights. I believe parents should be involved in health, education and schooling options for their children.
