Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I grew up in Tallmadge, I am a Christian, I love this community and I am loyal to it. I will be an unwavering advocate for the health and safety of all Tallmadge residents and families. Having worked at companies like Google, The U.S. Meat Export Federation, and Omega Laboratories, I have deep experience working on many of the problems that impact our community. I am an organizer, a creative thinker, and known as someone that brings people together and solves problems. Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated across generations and varying political backgrounds to accomplish audacious goals, and I will do the same for Tallmadge, serving on City Council. I am the best person for this job, because I believe values transcend political loyalty, and we need to be a Tallmadge that works together to get worthwhile initiatives completed!

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?

• I am concerned about the rapid development of Tallmadge’s remaining forests and farmland into large, dense, residential neighborhoods. I will be a voice on Council to protect Tallmadge from being overdeveloped. I support investment and improvement to developed areas, and will work to find creative solutions to protect the remaining forests and farmland in Tallmadge. I look forward to working with stakeholders from both sides of the aisle to have an impact on this issue.
• There is an urgent need for pedestrian infrastructure improvements on Tallmadge’s main streets. Tallmadge residents have great, walkable resources at our fingertips, but traffic on main roads can make it frightening to be a pedestrian (or driver!). I will fight to secure investment in walking and bike paths to connect our neighborhoods and make it safer for pedestrians and motorists to travel along the main streets in Tallmadge.
• I feel lucky to have grown up in Tallmadge and to raise my own family here. I want to make sure all of Tallmadge's kids and adults feel that way, too. I will advocate for the development and improvement of affordable recreation spaces for youth and adults. I want to work with the city to offer more family-friendly hours for key services.
