I bring over 30 years of experience as a teacher and school principal, where I learned how to listen, solve problems, and bring people together. I managed budgets, led diverse teams, and made decisions with students, families, and staff in mind. This experience has given me the fundamentals of public governance and management across wide ranges of stakeholders. Since moving to Washington County, I have stayed engaged by attending the meetings of the Commission and related Boards and Committees. I understand how local decisions affect daily life. I am approachable, prepared, and committed to representing my district with respect, transparency, and steady leadership that puts people first.
My priorities are to restore trust, civility, and good working relationships on the County Commission. Our County needs to rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and ensure decisions reflect the people it serves. Residents want a clear voice in issues that affect their neighborhoods, especially for growth, land use, and community impact. I opposed the BWXT rezoning and vocally defended our residents’ position. It is also important that County entities work better together, including the Commission, schools, and libraries, so services are consistent and effective. I will focus on respectful leadership, open dialogue, and practical solutions that improve coordination and transparency, and serve the long-term interests of our county.
