What professional and personal experiences make you the best candidate for this position?
At twenty-three, my foundation is in Christ, Who has given me my courage and conviction (Joshua 1:9). At East Tennessee State University, where I earned my degree in Media Communications, I co-founded a Turning Point USA chapter and worked to bring Christ and conservatism back to campus. After graduating ETSU, I earned my master’s from Liberty University, served as Field Coordinator for Bobby Harshbarger’s State Senate campaign, and worked in Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger’s district office. Today, I proudly serve as Turning Point USA’s High School Representative for Tennessee, seeking to let Christ use me to lead, serve, and build the next generation in truth. In six months, I have helped East Tennessee grow from 60 chapters and counting!
What are the most pressing issues in the office you are seeking, and how do you plan to address them?
I feel called to serve. At twenty-three, I’ve been priced out of buying a home in the county I’ve lived in my entire life. Rent is often higher than a mortgage, and families across Sullivan County faced overwhelming property tax increases. Government should put families first—not big businesses, career politicians, or outside interests. Its role is to protect and serve the people, not burden them. For too long, our county has grown government and spending at the expense of everyday citizens. I’m running to fight for a smaller, more accountable government—one that allows families to keep more of what they earn and invests wisely in what matters most: strong schools, safe roads, and a thriving economy.
