My top three priorities include supporting local economic opportunity for small businesses focusing on responsible growth that fits Ballwin’s character, maintaining safe and well-planned infrastructure for residents of all ages and abilities, and strengthening communication so community members feel informed and comfortable sharing their concerns before decisions are made.
I’m qualified to serve because I bring real-world experience as a lifetime Ballwin resident, former small business owner and community advocate. I understand how local decisions affect families and neighborhoods, and I approach issues with careful research, big-picture thinking and a commitment to listening before making decisions.
