An Advisory board member oversees and works with the Trustee to provide support for the township residents. We oversee and approve the financial needs of the low income constituents. We also support the Trustee in personnel staffing and procedures. In addition, our Township supports a Voluntary Fire Department. We are responsible for contracting for fire protection and funding the majority of the financial needs for proper fire protection to that set of residents.
Serving in several leadership positions working with other voluntary board members has been an asset to my service as an Advisory board member. I have had the opportunity to set budgets and managed volunteers in youth baseball and youth soccer programs. In addition I have served in leadership roles as a board member for a private school and church organization.

Townships are responsible for the welfare of needy citizens, and fire protection outside of the city limits. Board members approve budgets, monitor fire protection, and approve policies of the Trustee.
I am a retired licensed professional with 40 years of business experience, retiring from an international corporation with a varied experience in business affairs. I have lived in Center Township for 34 years..
We have already completed the budget process, implementation of annual policies, secured fire protection outside of the city limits for 2026, including the oversight
of the purchase of a new fire truck to be delivered later this Spring. We have surveyed the boundaries of the Negley Cemetery on Weaver Road, and are preparing to perform maintenance of the surface, including leveling of graves, seeding and mulching all areas, and locating missing headstones.
We are concerned about the cities' implementation of ambulance service, and it's possible impacts on ambulance service in the Township. We currently use AMR.
I am a respected citizen of Vanderburgh County w with a wealth of business and life experiences.

Township government represents the primary level of public service in Indiana. The Township Board Member's responsibilities include collaborating with the Trustee’s office to provide guidance on civil township matters, such as fire protection, emergency assistance, and employee compensation. Board members oversee and approve the township’s budget and reports, ensuring thorough documentation and accuracy of all records.
I’ve spent most of my life living in Center Township and care deeply about our community’s future. After graduating from Central High School, I left for college but soon returned to start my career. Now, I am a Laboratory Supervisor at Boston IVF at The Women’s Hospital. In my role, I focus on making sure both patients and staff are treated with respect and compassion. I strive to lead with integrity and set a positive example through careful attention to detail, accountability, and responsible management. The same values that guide me at work also shape my view of township governance. As a homeowner, parent, and long-time resident, I am dedicated to keeping Center Township fiscally responsible and attentive to the needs of its residents.
My first priority is to work alongside the Trustee to provide a fresh and balanced perspective to the board, ensuring that every resident is represented fairly and township funds are managed responsibly and transparently.
My next priority is to attend as many meetings or training courses as possible to deepen my understanding of township governance, rules, and regulations. By doing so, I can effectively advocate for our township’s best interests, especially regarding any changes resulting from Senate Enrolled Act 270.
Many people in our community have recently experienced growing financial pressure as everyday costs continue to rise. Even those who have never struggled before are now finding it hard to cover their expenses. The United Way reports that 32% of Center Township residents are now classified as ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), meaning they earn more than the federal poverty line but still don’t make enough to cover basic living costs. Both ALICE households and those living in poverty need support. Local government, being closest to the community, is uniquely positioned to help. I believe township-level funding can make a real difference, and I want to ensure these resources are distributed both fairly and responsibly.
I am running for election to represent every resident of Center Township, no matter if you live within city limits or in the surrounding county. While I don’t have prior experience in government, I have spent a lot of time learning how township government works and becoming familiar with local issues. If chosen, I will keep building on this knowledge and use it to responsibly serve our community. I also intend to keep communication open and encourage all Center Township residents to share their thoughts, so everyone’s needs and concerns are heard and addressed effectively.
