Occupation Project Manager
Qualifications Public service professional with experience in local government, project management and social services.
Emmaus is feeling the impact of a sudden 26% tax hike after years without strategic, long-term planning. I am committed to transparency, open communication, and collaboration, paired with making smart, forward-thinking financial decisions in order to build a stronger, more stable, and sustainable future for Emmaus.
Education Muhlenberg College - bachelor's in business administration, accounting
Occupation CPA / Self-Employed
Qualifications Emmaus Borough Council Member 2015 - 2023 and 2025
Emmaus faces a financial crossroads. Rising costs challenge what our residents can afford. Following a 25.6% real estate tax increase in 2025, we must find efficiencies, explore shared services, and involve residents in decisions. As a CPA, I’ll bring financial experience, honesty, and a focus on sustainability to ensure we protect services without overburdening taxpayers.
Occupation Consultant
Qualifications I have a strong background in public service, having worked in law enforcement, consulting, and volunteering in my community.
A major concern in this campaign is the recent tax hike and the frustration many residents feel about not having enough notice. I respect these concerns and want to help address the issues to ensure this doesn't happen again in the future. My goal is to bring more transparency and communication to decision-making so the community feels informed and involved.
