My experience combines public service, professional project management, and community leadership. As a current Wyoming City Council member, I also serve on the Wyoming Economic Development Corporation/Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and the Greater Wyoming Community Resource Alliance. Professionally, I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with extensive experience managing complex IT projects, a skill set particularly relevant as Wyoming prepares to implement its new ERP system and undertake major infrastructure investments. These experiences have equipped me with the financial oversight, technical knowledge, leadership skills, and understanding of local government necessary to continue serving Wyoming residents.
Wyoming's greatest challenges include maintaining public safety, managing growth and infrastructure, and keeping our community affordable. I support a police force that actively engages with residents and builds strong community relationships. We must continue investing in roads, water infrastructure, and modernizing city operations while remaining fiscally responsible. I also support economic development, practical housing solutions, and addressing food insecurity through projects like Godwin Mercado. My approach is to build on Wyoming's five-year strategic plan, prioritize responsible spending, and ensure residents understand how their tax dollars are invested.
My goal is to continue building on Wyoming's five-year strategic plan by prioritizing responsible growth, essential infrastructure, public safety, and fiscal responsibility. One of my primary objectives is to help oversee the city's upcoming ERP implementation, where my professional experience in IT project management can provide valuable insight into managing costs, timelines, and successful delivery. I also want to support critical infrastructure investments, including the third water transmission line, encourage economic development, and maintain a police force that actively engages with our community. I will accomplish these goals by working collaboratively with fellow council members, city staff, and residents to make informed decision
I am not in favor of data centers being constructed in Wyoming when there's a pressing need for affordable housing.

I will bring hands on management experience, a strong record of building relationships, a practical approach to working through problems, and a reputation for listening carefully before acting. Those combined help me lead teams effectively and keep projects moving while maintaining trust.
Key Challenges are ensuring our Police, fire and emergency services have resources they need, while also being responsible with tax payers money.
My goals would be to keep our community safe by supporting well-trained emergency services and neighborhood partnerships, while being careful with every dollar. Budgets should be transparent, spending should directly serve residents needs and progress should be tracked openly so people can see results.
Data center development should be approached carefully and with strong consideration for the concerns of our residents. Noise, Public disruption, and over all impact on our community should be thoroughly evaluated before a project moves forward. Most importantly, residents should have a meaningful opportunity to voice their opinions and help shape decisions that affect their neighborhoods.
