That sense of duty led me to social work, where I planned to help people one-on-one. I had an opportunity to work with foster kids, survivors of sexual assault, and individuals returning to our communities on probation and parole. But my time working within those systems opened my eyes to a harder truth. I saw that our institutions are often designed to punish people for being poor, sick, or down on their luck. I realized that helping individuals wasn't enough; we have to change the entire system. So in 2019, I quit my job with the state and began advocating for change from the outside. It’s also when I first began considering running for office.
Since then I've spent my time volunteering and advocating for our community. I am engaged in the ongoing work of building community power and mutual aid. After Hurricane Helene, founded Hostess City Mutual Aid to help coordinate community support. And I currently work as the Senior Probate Paralegal with the DeVetter Law Firm.- I believe that everyone should have the basic necessities they need to live a life of dignity. Yet here in Savannah, I see too many of our neighbors working multiple jobs, often sacrificing time with their loved ones, just to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. This is why the core pillars of my campaign are focused on building a stronger, more equitable Savannah. First, we must expand access to affordable housing. Second, we need to ensure that every resident can access affordable healthcare And third, it's past time to raise the minimum wage. These aren't just policy goals. They are the foundation of a community where everyone can thrive, not just survive.
- We need leaders who truly support the people living in their communities. For too long, working families have been overlooked while career politicians served other interests. Our neighborhoods deserve better. They deserve a government that fights for the people who stock our grocery shelves, teach our children, and keep our cities running instead of fighting for corporations or wealthy donors. That is why I am taking a stand. I am not accepting a single dollar from big corporations, real estate developers, or SCAD. My commitment is to you and you alone.
- Good governance is the foundation of a healthy democracy It ensures that power is exercised in a manner that is fair, accountable, and responsive to the people it serves. This requires a foundation of radical transparency, where government proceedings, budgets, and decisions are open to public scrutiny, making it easy for citizens to understand what their government is doing and why. By actively working to keep corporate and special interest money out of politics, we can prevent policy from being unduly influenced by deep-pocketed donors. Ultimately, good governance is about accessibility and trust and creating clear channels for citizens to communicate with their elected officials.
