My top priorities are communication, collaboration and community. I’ll prioritize transparent, consistent communication and be a visible, accessible council member. I’ll look for new ways to strengthen partnerships with our institutions and businesses and I will build on Clayton’s rich traditions and strong community foundation.
I'm qualified to serve as a council member because I am passionate about ensuring Clayton is a leader in the region, a place of belonging and somewhere our children (and their children) want to return to. I've served our community in many capacities, most recently on the Clayton 2040 comprehensive plan committee and currently as parks and recreation commission chair.
