In classrooms across generations, I taught not just facts but how to think, how to question, and how to care for one another. That same curiosity and care now guide my commitment to responsible stewardship of our county’s future — from fiscal responsibility and smart infrastructure to vibrant community services that support families, seniors, and workers alike.

I’m running for Peoria County Board to bring practical problem-solving, clear communication, and a steady hand to county governance. My promise is simple: thoughtful leadership informed by experience, heart, and an enduring belief in the promise of our community.
