As the President & CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce, I work to uplift small businesses and foster economic opportunity. I also serve as a Board Member for The Independence Center and on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC, advocating for accessibility, economic development, and community progress.
My commitment to service extends to the Military Spouse Community Coalition Committee, where I co-chair efforts to support military families, and the KOAA5 Community Advisory Committee, ensuring our local media reflects and serves our diverse community. I have also been honored as the 2024 AFI Army Spouse of the Year, 2024 Mayor’s Young Leader for Community Impact, and a 2025 Colorado Springs Business Journal Woman of Influence for my impact in the city.
From championing small businesses to advocating for military families and inclusive economic policies, I am dedicated to making Colorado Springs a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. I look forward to bringing my leadership, experience, and passion to City Council—because when we work together, our community thrives.- Proven Leadership & Community Advocacy I am a dedicated leader with a strong record of service in Colorado Springs. As President & CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce and a Board Member of The Independence Center, I advocate for small businesses, accessibility, and economic opportunity. My leadership on the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC Board ensures that our city thrives through smart policies and inclusive growth. I am committed to bringing my experience and passion for service to City Council to create a stronger, more connected community.
- Committed to Affordable Housing Solutions Housing affordability is a critical issue in Colorado Springs, and I am committed to solutions that ensure residents can live and thrive in our city. As a former member of the Community Development Advisory Committee, I worked on housing initiatives that impact our community. I also contributed as a credited researcher for the 2022 Blue Star Families Housing Pulse Check, addressing housing challenges for military families. On City Council, I will advocate for policies that expand affordable housing options, support smart development, and keep housing attainable for all.
- Prioritizing Public Safety A safe community is a strong community. I am honored to be endorsed by our police and fire departments, recognizing my commitment to supporting first responders and ensuring public safety remains a top priority. I will work to ensure they have the resources, training, and staffing needed to keep our neighborhoods safe. From emergency response to community policing, I support smart policies that protect residents, improve response times, and foster trust between law enforcement and the community.
I believe that public policy should truly be public—shaped by the voices, experiences, and needs of the people it impacts. Too often, decisions are made without meaningful community input. In District 4, we have the lowest representation in our city's boards and commissions and the lowest voter turnout. That’s why I am committed to engaging, activating, and empowering residents in shaping the future of Colorado Springs.
