My degree in psychology has equipped me with a deep understanding of human behavior, communication, and conflict resolution, all of which are critical skills for public service. As a county clerk, engaging with diverse communities, understanding their needs, and fostering an environment of trust and transparency is essential. My experience working with various groups, including immigrants and marginalized individuals, has taught me how to navigate complex systems, advocate for people's needs, and solve problems collaboratively.
While I may not have a traditional political background, my fresh perspective allows me to approach this role with a focus on accessibility, efficiency, and inclusivity. The role of a county clerk is fundamentally about serving people, managing public records, and ensuring that the democratic process is upheld—all tasks that benefit from strong organizational and interpersonal skills, which my background uniquely prepares me for.
