I bring collaborative leadership and a professional background in planning and community engagement. In my past and present community leadership and board roles, I have demonstrated a deep commitment to the health and success of our municipality.
My top priorities will be to develop long-term plans to protect village assets, strengthen financial transparency and resident involvement in economic development planning, and to improve walkability and safety for pedestrians, especially at crosswalks along Wooster Pike. These priorities support Mariemont’s livability, heritage, and long-term sustainability while addressing both resident concerns and future needs.
