I bring over 20 years of experience in sustainability and environmental management across multiple sectors. I lead corporate sustainability strategy, serve as Chair of WaterOne’s Sustainability Committee, as well as the Admin and Government/Community Relations committees, and sit on the boards of two environmental nonprofits. My background combines technical expertise, governance experience, and a strong commitment to community-focused water stewardship.

Water Infrastructure Resilience – Investing in long-term reliability, climate adaptation, and sustainability of our water systems. Workforce Excellence at WaterOne – Building on our strong employee retention and continuing efforts to make WaterOne an employer of choice for Johnson County—because a thriving, engaged workforce directly benefits the community we serve. Sustainability Leadership – Advancing the work I began as a founding member of WaterOne’s Sustainability Committee to embed environmental and social responsibility into utility operations. I would start with Workforce Excellence, as it strengthens our ability to deliver reliable service, innovate, and support the Utility’s broader goals.

I will continue to advocate for a rate structure that ensures affordability for essential water use, maintains transparency in how rates are set, and reflects the true cost of service across customer types. It’s important that our pricing model supports financial sustainability while not placing undue burden on low-usage or economically vulnerable households. As someone who values environmental justice, I believe equitable access to clean water is fundamental to community health and resilience—which our rate structure should reflect, and I believe that currently WaterOne's service to the community does exactly that.
