Personal Biography From 2014 to 2023, I lived in Atlanta, GA, working as a Data Analyst. After the normalization of remote work, I left the big city to move to Wamego, near my sister in St. George. The town quickly became my beloved new home.
Education Masters in Applied Economics from Florida State University (2014)
Community/Public Service I volunteer at the Wamego Fire Department, perform sound management for the Columbian Theater, and became a board member of the Manhattan Jewish Congregation.
I bring a unique and diverse life experience to my candidacy. My background includes data analytics in cybersecurity, volunteering for the Wamego Fire Department, and managing sound for the Columbian Theater
We need to protect farmer's & rancher's rights by establishing a Conservation Fund to fight back against noxious weeds, reducing pesticide spray drift, and passing Right to Repair so farmers can fix their own equipment.

We need to help small towns flourish by expanding access to the Kansas Mainstreet Program, bolstering local volunteer groups in the KCE program, and reviving the KAN STEP to aid infrastructure projects

We need to promote affordable living for families by implementing property tax cuts, copying North Carolina's Medicaid Expansion, increasing childcare options
The best way for my constituents to follow bills is to follow my newsletter. I will explain relevant bills using plain English. If "Gut and Go" is used to pass a piece of crucial legislation then I will overcommunicate this to my constituents to make sure they understand the process. But, "Gut and Go" should only be used for emergencies.
As a data analyst, we should move to ID verification instead of signature verification. It makes more sense to match easy to read numbers than hard to read signatures.
