Vice president at a financial services firm & serve on Wind Gap Borough Council. 25 years of business experience.
My top priorities are:
1.) ensuring the county remains on solid fiscal footing. I understand budgets, finance, and data analysis and want to make sure Northampton County continues to function and your tax dollars are being used efficiently.
2.) continue what's currently working in Northampton County. That means keeping Gracedale county owned and operated, continuing our successful open space and farmland preservation programs, and supporting working families.
3.) addressing housing and rental affordability. Through a combination of tools, including encouraging multi-municipal planning, tax incentives, and tackling blighted properties, we can make it more affordable to live in the Lehigh Valley.

Qualifications
26 years of Public Service with Northampton County and the City of Bethlehem. Small business owner and community stalwart.
To ensure Northampton County delivers the highest level of service to our residents, I’m prioritizing three areas:
1. Strengthening our workforce by focusing on employee retention and development. We need people who are committed to public service and we need to support them so they can be successful in serving our residents.
2. Rebuilding and repairing our county facilities which have been neglected for too long. Improve the infrastructure that supports public services.
3. Invest in our needful communities to provide citizens the opportunity to prosper.
These efforts will be funded using already-allocated budget resources and unobligated funds. No tax increases—just more responsible use of the funds we already have.

Real Estate Manager
Qualifications
I bring over two decades of experience in real estate and community management.
Northampton County is at a critical point where financial discipline, infrastructure, public trust, and social resilience must be prioritized to ensure long-term prosperity for all residents. Based on my two decades of experience in real estate management and budget oversight, I believe the county’s top priorities should include: responsible fiscal management, election integrity, affordable housing, pandemic recovery, and environmental sustainability.
In all of these efforts, I would bring my hands-on experience working with local governments, community members, and regulatory frameworks to the table. I understand how to navigate complex systems, interpret laws and ordinances, and bring people together around common goals.

As a county council member, most of our business has to do with running the NORCO county government and government center. So I will break this down into 2 parts; Priorities for the NORCO Govt and priorities for NORCO as a whole.
As a government we need to focus on our core services and ensure we are delivering an excellent product. Making sure we maintain our top notch court system. Ensuring we have fast, fair, and honest elections. Most importantly - making Gracedale an asset again, not a liability.
Outside the government center we need to promote and encourage small business growth inside the county. Entice new businesses to invest here in the county. Preserve our green spaces and assist our farmers to not only survive but thrive.

I am a life-long resident of Northampton and care deeply for my fellow citizens, especially, the most vulnerable.
Northampton County, like many counties in Pennsylvania, is at a crossroads. The are an increasing number of resident concerns that must be addressed by political leaders to ensure an improved quality of life for future generations. Sustainable growth is a topic everyone is talking about. As a life-long resident of Northampton County I have seen the explosion of growth and the ramifications of that growth. Political and community leaders must work cooperatively to ensure responsible growth that benefits all citizens of the county.
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am concerned about the availability of mental health services available including the expansion of services like the Mental Health Court. Every citizen should have a voice.
