Born and raised in Burlington County, I am a lifelong resident of New Jersey. I raised my family in New Jersey and attended Burlington County College, Seton Hall University and Rutgers University. It's now time to bring back our strong New Jersey values, patriotism and safety to the streets of New Jersey.

I am an America First Candidate with strong conservation values and have been serving our community as a healthcare provider for over 20 years.

I am currently a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. I am a strong supporter of women's rights, parental rights, and I am Pro-Life and Pro-Women. As a healthcare provider, I am against medical mandates and support medical freedom and parental choice. In our schools, I support transparency and parental rights. I am also a strong advocate of preserving and protecting our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.

New Jersey is the Garden State and as a homesteader and hunter, we must continue to preserve our farmland, forests and oceans for future generations.
  • As a lifelong New Jersey resident, I want NJ citizens to grown up in the safe neighborhoods that I played in as a child. I support strong American border policies, ending sanctuary cities and protecting New Jersey citizens against crimes by supporting legislation that puts the safety of American citizens first.
  • Being ProLife and ProWomen, we need to focus on protecting women's personal space in sports, locker rooms and schools. I strongly support parental transparency, oppose transitioning of minor children and protecting Title IX for all our women and girls. As young girls are more affected by social media bullying, we to make sure that we have easier access to mental healthcare for all citizens across the State of New Jersey and our nation.
  • New Jersey has a long history of infringing our rights to bear arms and we need to work on repealing gun laws on law abiding gun owners and hold criminals accountable. National Concealed Carry Reciprocity will make it less confusing and safer for both police offices and gun owners to know the laws across state lines and avoid making law abiding citizens unknowingly criminals. New Jersey continues to raise the fees and cost of gun ownership, and we need ensure that all citizens no matter their socioeconomic status can afford the right to gun ownership.
As a healthcare provider, I do not believe in vaccine mandates, which violate our fundamental rights. I believe in transparency, medical freedom and true informed consent, which will empower citizens to make their own choices through education and not coercion. Medical treatment should always be a personal and parental choice. Citizens should never fear being denied treatment due to their vaccination status. Parents should not fear losing their children because they do not agree with the vaccination schedule or chose another path to wellness.

To protect and build back trust we need to revoke the immunity from liability to those who profit. There must be accountability and compensation for those that are injured by vaccines.
Kristi Noem is a strong conservative leader. She is a farmer and a hunter! She stands up for her constituents and own values
Elected official must be transparent and honest. It is also very important that they put their personal biases aside and listen to their constituents.
I am a very honest and transparent individual. I serve as a role model, mentor and leader. I am also very goal driven and put all my efforts in achieving my goals. If someone tells me I can’t do something, I make it my mission to accomplish it!
As an elected official it is vital that you represent your District and abide by the peoples wishes. I believe that it is our responsibilities to act with integrity and have respect for each other. There will always be conflicts and disagreement in politics, but we must also handle these conflicts as professions.

As an elected official, it is vital to be present and listen to your community and when it's time to vote, be present and accountable.
I have always been a person who does the right thing, strong morals, and fight for what I believe in.
The most memorable event as a child was on January 28th, when the Space shuttle Challenger exploded. I believe I was in sixth grade. The teachers rolled in a little Televison, so we could watch the event and then quickly rolled it out and then had to explain what happened.
My very first job as a teenager was working for a florist. Maintaining the floral shop and delivery flowers. I worked there for two years until I graduated high school.
Professor McGonagell from Harry Potter, she is very intelligent, quick witted, and it would be cool to have magical powers.
Being an Independent person can also be a struggle. Trying to do everything myself and not asking for help.
Absolutely not, some of the most respected representatives come from various backgrounds. Representative are bringing their professional experiences from places like healthcare, business, science, engineering makes American policies and legislation stronger. If you are rebuilding roads and bridges, a representative with an engineering background would be very beneficial in leading that committee.
Over the past decade, border security is our biggest challenge as a nation, we need to stop illegal immigration and support legal immigration. There should be no such thing as a sanctuary city because everyone should be treated equally if they are United States citizens or immigrated into our country legally.
For the time it takes to formulate, discuss and bring forth legislation, I believe that the house of representatives should be a 4-year term and a two-term limit.
As our country changes, we should have elected officials who change as the country evolves. Term limits would encourage younger generations to become elected officials and allow change. Holding office should never been a lifelong career and representative should be encouraged to mentor younger generations.

Just as a President has a two term limit, I support term limits for both House and Senate.
As a healthcare provider, I often hear how the Covid19 vaccine mandates have affected healthcare and how many good nurses have left the bedside or retired due to the mandates. The loss of experienced hardworking healthcare providers has put a strain on healthcare systems.
As a maternity nurse, I like to tell patients that they can't eat after midnight, but they can drink water because they have already multiplied. Most Gen X patients get it!
Our nation was founded on principles that we will never totally agree on every policy, but it is necessary for our country to abandon extreme values across both party lines and work together.
As an elected government official, you are employed by your constituents and have an obligation to be transparent.
