Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m a proud veteran and small business owner, grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and contribute to the great town of Mint Hill.

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?

• Committed to keeping Mint Hill safe while maintaining a balanced budget — without raising taxes.
• As our town grows, my responsibility is to make sure that growth is thoughtful, sustainable, and smart.
• I’ll keep being a voice for our residents and a resource everyone can count on.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m especially passionate about policies that strengthen our community at the local level — ensuring smart growth, maintaining a balanced budget, and keeping our town safe while protecting the quality of life that makes it special.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

The Commissioner’s office serves as a bridge between local and state agencies, ensuring our town’s needs are represented at both the county and state levels.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I've always looked up to my mother. Her strength and determination has always inspired me to do more. She has always pushed me to do my best and has always been my biggest cheerleader.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

For me, being an elected official is about listening, being honest, and putting our community first. I believe in spending tax dollars wisely, making thoughtful decisions for the long term, and treating everyone with fairness and respect. My goal is to be approachable, accountable, and a strong voice for the people I serve.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

I believe the core responsibility of anyone elected to this office is to serve the people. That means listening to residents, understanding their concerns, and making decisions that reflect the best interests of the community. It also means being transparent, accountable, and responsible with public resources, while helping guide the town toward smart growth and a strong, safe future for everyone.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

You can’t focus only on the immediate effects of decisions—you have to consider how they will impact the town 5, 10, or even 15 years from now.
