I care deeply about District 7 because it helped shape the person I am today. Having grown up in Edwardsville, graduated from Edwardsville High School, and now living in Glen Carbon, I understand how important strong public schools are to our students, families, and community. I believe every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, and I strive to listen to parents, teachers, staff, students, and taxpayers before making decisions. I’m committed to thoughtful, transparent leadership that puts students first, supports outstanding educators, and ensures taxpayer dollars are invested responsibly.
Outside of work and community service, my partner and I enjoy supporting local businesses, attending community events, and spending time outdoors with our two dogs. I value building relationships, giving back to the community that has given me so much, and helping ensure District 7 remains a place where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.
