Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born a Buckeye at OSU Medical Center and I am a lifelong Ohioan. My pull in life has always been to serve my community. Outside of working as an Operations Manager, I volunteer my time wherever it is needed. I have worked with Ohio Harm Reduction for the last 3 years distributing harm reduction supplies and hosting conversations in communities around Ohio to raise awareness. I’ve organized fundraising events to collect donations for local shelters. I do street outreach in homeless encampments to deliver supplies and resources to unhoused Ohioans. I skate for the Roundtown Roller Derby League. Shortly before the pandemic we started an all-ages JR league to give kids a safe afterschool activity that could be done even in the colder months. I look forward to resuming the JR league with the kids when it's safe I miss skating with them. I have not, and I will not ask for donations for my campaign. I know Ohioans are stretched thin from the Pandemic. Please, spend the money on your families, not politicians. I will represent every regardless of beliefs, background, or political affiliation. I will hold office walk-in days, town halls, and zoom meetings. I want everyone to be heard and represented. Let’s all work together to build stronger communities. We aren't red or blue, only scarlet & gray!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• No more divisive politics and instilling fear into Ohio politics. Other candidates' messages they're like broken records. No one, and I mean no one, is losing any rights while I am your representative.
• Our district is home to some of the hardest hit counties for overdose deaths. I promise to tackle the overdose epidemic head-on and attack it at its root. To save lives.
• I want to meet with as many of you as possible and hear what issues and ideas you have. I will represent you and work to come up with solutions. When is the last time you have felt represented in politics? Ohioans we can achieve it!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about Mental Health Services.

Better care for our veterans when they return home.
Harm Reduction.

Housing and jobs in local communities.
