Experience & Qualifications
I have served as an Ada Township Election Chairperson and Inspector for six years. Additionally, I have work and volunteer experience recruiting, training, and organizing people and events.
I have worked as an election chairperson and inspector for the past six years. I am also highly experienced in organizing groups and information for the purpose of creating and improving efficiency.
Election law has changed tremendously in the past few years. Keeping current with the changing laws and training election inspectors in regard to those laws is a top priority. Additionally, keeping up to date with current and evolving technology will be vital in the coming years, both for elections and for general township record keeping. I will actively engage with Michigan Township Association training, seek support and input from fellow municipal clerks, and read and research applicable materials to keep the office ready and adaptable.
