As a lifelong resident of Northwest Missouri, I have made the decision to stay here, give back to the community, and raise my children here. My experience in the fields of education, bookkeeping, and union labor give me great insight into the needs of local families and the skills to get the job done.
  • The future of our children depends on giving them the tools for success.
  • Universal healthcare access is key to having thriving communities. We must provide funding for rural hospitals, mental healthcare, and a plan to address the opioid crisis.
  • Jobs with competitive pay and benefits must be available to keep our kids from abandoning our rural communities and to keep our families thriving.
Education, jobs, and healthcare, all come down to serving our kids with the best future we can offer. To keep our children building on our rural communities, we must provide them with opportunities for success.
While I was born and raised and continue to live in a rural area of Missouri, I want all Missourians to have access to quality healthcare, education, and jobs. I want to see an end to selling our family farmland to foreign entities. I want to protect our Missouri from unsafe practices that contaminate our soil and water. We all see the need for better roads and bridges, and our infrastructure needs an overhaul, including better internet for all. Restructuring our police services so that the public and those who serve have better relations, while equipment and training better serves all. Oversight of ethics practices and wasteful spending are also concerns that I will be actively pursuing.
My range of experience has given me invaluable insight and skill. I have professional experience in financial, education, union, service, healthcare, and entrepreneurial businesses. From hands-on training in carpentry to estimating for a union contractor, I gained not only professional skills, but a firsthand view of minority issues in the workplace. My decades of bookkeeping, payroll services, union reporting, and entrepreneurship have given me opportunities to learn budgeting and oversight. And as a lifelong learner, a public and private educator, and a mother, I have seen the needs for better education services for our children. My personal experience, growing up on a small rural farm has given me compassion for those who lack resources such as healthcare or food insecurity. This in particular led me to bring a chapter of a children's charity meeting needs of health, hunger, and hygiene to NWMO and to serve as Chapter liaison. This wide range of experience, service, and skill combines to give me an outstanding view of the needs of Missourians across the state and to serve us all with the dedication and wisdom to legislate with compassion and confidence.
