I have called Grosse Pointe Park home for 18 years and am proud to be a graduate of both Grosse Pointe South and Wayne State University. I serve as Secretary of the Recreation Commission and Treasurer of Friends of Patterson Playscape, where I’ve worked to strengthen our parks and community spaces. I am running for City Council to continue supporting transparency, responsible leadership, and long-term planning that keeps our city vibrant, resilient, and inviting for generations to come.
  • The most important issue facing Grosse Pointe Park is ensuring that, as an aging community, our infrastructure and public spaces keep pace with the needs of today while preparing for tomorrow. Roads, water systems, and public facilities require steady reinvestment, and residents expect strong parks, safe neighborhoods, and reliable services. I will support and continue the city’s ongoing efforts to address these priorities through careful financial planning, pursuit of grants, and collaboration with regional partners. At the same time, I believe in maintaining the unique character, history, and traditions that make the Park special while planning responsibly for future generations so that our city remains vibrant, resilient, and inviting.
  • Grosse Pointe Park’s finances are stable, and I believe our current council and leadership are transparent and responsible. I will support and continue these efforts while planning for rising costs, lifecycle maintenance, and long-term infrastructure. My priorities are strengthening budget stability, maintaining balance, avoiding unnecessary debt, and ensuring every dollar delivers value to residents. That includes careful contract review, multi-year capital planning, healthy reserves, pursuing grants, regional partnerships, and prioritizing roads, sewers, facilities, parks, public safety, and core neighborhood services, with clear reporting residents can trust. I’ll keep the budget process open with regular online updates and public input.
  • I’m running for City Council to help Grosse Pointe Park remain a vibrant and engaged community. I believe in being responsive to residents, supporting our parks, infrastructure, and city services, and working in partnership with city leadership to honor our strengths while planning for the future.
I’m deeply passionate about strengthening and maintaining the sense of community and connection that makes Grosse Pointe Park such a special place to live. I believe that strong neighborhoods start with shared spaces — our parks, our waterfront, and our local gathering spots — that bring people together across generations and backgrounds. Investing in these public spaces isn’t just about maintaining them, but about enhancing them so they continue to serve families, seniors, and young residents alike.
Equally important is collaboration within city leadership and with residents. I value the progress already made in our community and want to continue building on that foundation through open communication, transparency, and teamwork.
