- My husband Doug and I moved to Upper Arlington in 2013, and the same qualities that attracted us to UA will continue to bring in more new residents. We have opportunities to build on our infrastructure today to support sustainable, healthy transportation options. Improving our walking, cycling and transit infrastructure will keep our streets from becoming more congested and our air from becoming more polluted. As a member of City Council, I will plant the seeds for UA’s tomorrow by focusing on sustainable solutions to develop our community with health and well-being at the forefront.
- As our population grows and new residents are attracted to UA, a common thread of concern I’ve heard while volunteering is that new residents struggle to find their sense of belonging, their people. I will grow a sense of belonging by increasing third spaces — such as community gardens and other places to gather outside of home and work — that improve well-being and offer opportunities for both new and established residents to meet in person to strengthen relationships with each other and the community.
- As a small business owner for the last 15 years I’ve worked with municipalities, businesses and nonprofits of all shapes and sizes to support their marketing and communications needs. My strengths in creativity and empathy will help me nurture a resilient community prepared for extreme weather and the climate-related challenges that come with continued population growth.
