My family was one of the first to settle in Brethren. I have a strong sense of pride in our community and have volunteered for many years in a variety of positions for various organizations. I started working as an elections worker years ago, and quickly became the elections chairperson. I was the secretary of the planning commission for a brief time, before I was appointed Clerk after the previous Clerk stepped down unexpectedly in 2025. I'm running for a partial term so that I am able to help Dickson Township thrive and continue to be a great place to live.
