I am running for Morrisville Town Council to build on the success the town has achieved and to help create a more connected, vibrant community where all residents can thrive.
As a professionally licensed mechanical engineer in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, I have built a career designing energy-efficient, sustainable buildings. While earning my graduate degree, I studied renewable energy systems and helped facilities reduce their environmental impact. Today, I continue to focus on carbon reduction and sustainable development.
I am known as a thoughtful, detail-oriented leader and a creative problem solver who isn’t afraid to think outside the box. I am passionate about designing people-oriented places that strengthen community connections and improve everyday quality of life.
I am committed to being a voice for sustainability, innovation, and practical solutions that meet the needs of today without sacrificing the needs of future generations.- Morrisville’s growth must not come at the expense of our environment, infrastructure, or community well-being. I’ll advocate for sustainable development, tree canopy protection and expansion, and reducing the town’s carbon footprint.
As your elected representative, I will work with my fellow council members to:
Preserve and expand Morrisville’s tree canopy and green spaces.
Promote sustainable development that protects natural resources and community well-being.
Advance the implementation of Morrisville’s Master Sustainability Plan.
Support the adoption of a Sustainable Development Code focused on walkability, climate resilience, and reduced car dependency.
Encourage native landscaping and pollinator-friendly gardens. - Morrisville’s traffic congestion will not be solved by building more roads. The solution is designing a town where people can safely walk, bike, or ride transit. I’ll advocate for expanding our sidewalks, greenways, bike paths, and the Morrisville Smart Shuttle. As your elected representative, I will work with my fellow council members to: Expand Morrisville’s Smart Shuttle Program to make the service more accessible and dependable. Collaborate with the Town of Cary to coordinate and enhance our shared transportation network. Prioritize safe pedestrian routes for our children walking or bicycling to school. Expand sidewalk, bike path, and greenway infrastructure. Advocate for the rapid implementation of Bus Rapid Transit.
- Our diverse community is our greatest strength, but can be weakened if not intentionally fostered. I’ll advocate for land use and investment that brings together residents of all ages and backgrounds, prioritizes vibrant public spaces, and supports local small businesses. As your elected representative, I will work with my fellow council members to: Protect and expand parks and shared public spaces. Promote land use that brings people together, supports local businesses, and reflects our town’s diversity. Design our new Town Center for all ages, with spaces welcoming to kids, teens, adults, and seniors. Support zoning that enables walkable, family-friendly, multi-generational, mixed-use neighborhoods.
