I’m a proud graduate of The University of South Carolina for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees and was trained at the Harvard Mind/Body Medical Institute. As a Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I have helped thousands of people heal and transform their lives. I have been a small business owner, a corporate consultant specializing in conflict resolution and company culture development, a Behavioral Health Specialist, and an educator.
I am entering the race to win the SC House seat for District 123 because my voice, the voices of my daughters, sisters, mother, female friends, and colleagues have been silenced in South Carolina. Our state ranks third nationwide in the least number of women represented in state legislatures and we are the only state with an all-male Supreme Court. Women, need to be in the rooms where laws are being passed, important local and state issues are being discussed, and budgets are being set. I welcome the opportunity to be of service to my community and state.- The women of South Carolina have been silenced. Our state ranks third nationwide in the least number of women represented in state legislatures and we are the only state with an all-male Supreme Court. Women need to be in the rooms when decisions regarding our bodies, healthcare, children, families and communities are being made.
- Republicans in the South Carolina have a super-majority in the Statehouse, which makes it possible for them to pass any laws they want. As I watch newly enacted and very conservative laws restricting women’s needed healthcare adopted all over this nation, and our state legislature loosen gun laws, I have grown afraid for the women of South Carolina. We have reached a critical point for women’s rights in my home state and the time has come to be part of the solution.
- South Carolina needs representatives that are skilled listeners and communicators. As a member of a large family that runs the gamut of political beliefs, I have had to practice respectful listening when discussing contentious political issues while still managing to preserve the relationship with family members I love. As a therapist, active listening and meeting people where they are constitute the foundational skills of my profession. My up-bringing and career have provided me a skill set that is needed in the South Carolina State Legislature.
