Listening, advocating and making a difference, representing District 2 since 2014.
More than a decade of knowledge and experience serving District 2 and the City of Appleton.
Answering your questions. Connecting you with resources. Finding solutions to your problems and supporting your initiatives. Making our community better by uplifting your voices and meeting your needs. I’m always just a phonecall, email, or text message away, always eager to hear from you. It’s my job to represent YOU!
I am Chair of the Utilities Committee. I have served on all the city’s standing committees and most of the city’s boards and commissions. My priorities for 2026 in District 2 are to improve traffic and pedestrian safety, find solutions for unique neighborhood problems, and maintain service levels in our parks. Citywide, I will continue to support efforts to address the housing crisis, safeguard the quality of our water, and make sure that community voices are part of community development.
I graduated from Lawrence University in 2004 and have lived in Appleton since then. For my day job, I work at Fox Valley Literacy as the Office Manager. I serve on a number of Boards, including The Marigold Mile, FSM Arts Journal, and Fox Valley Pride. I love gardening and I love my cats. I foster monarch butterflies in the summer.- I am passionate about infrastructure, water, efficiency, and customer service. My constituents value my representation and have come to expect a high level of communication and engagement. It’s humbling and it’s an honor to uplift the voices of those I represent, to ensure that their cares and concerns are addressed.
- I have 12 years of experience working directly with city staff and colleagues, learning how to navigate city resources, and achieving a comprehensive understanding of all city departments and how they work together. I have also had many years of prior customer service experience. I am experienced, trusted, and accessible.
- Traffic and pedestrian safety need to be improved with better infrastructure and enforcement. Proactive flood mitigation requires a diligent commitment to a multi-year phased public works project. Affordable housing requires the addition of enough units, at different price points, to balance the local housing market and bring down rent prices. Community voices need to guide the development and growth of our city, which means I need to effectively communicate all important information such as when meetings are being held and what’s on the agenda, and how to access all public forums. YOU need to have a say and be HEARD.
