Bringing people together has always been my passion. 

I’m a fourth-generation Michigander and lifelong Rochester area resident. I spent my early years climbing up the back of Dinosaur Hill and biking down the Paint Creek Trail. In school, I studied International Relations at Michigan State University, and I went to Georgetown University for my masters degree in Foreign Service, specializing in global politics and security.

I’ve served as a political analyst in Spain with the U.S. State Department, as a national security analyst for Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, and currently also serve as the chief of staff for Michigan State Representative Samantha Steckloff up in Lansing. Through it all, my lodestone has been to work with people from all backgrounds and with myriad interests and motivations, and bring them together toward shared goals.

We need folks in Oakland County that will work across differences to find the pragmatic, common-sense solutions we need to improve our county and state. I’d like to think I have successfully done that in my first term, and I am respectfully asking for your vote so I can continue the work.

Protecting our communities, beautiful green spaces, and excellent schools are only some of my priorities. I’m running to make government work for you. We need to trust that our water is safe, our roads are reliable, and our children have a safe environment in which to learn. These are the things we are building right here in Oakland County, and I am so proud to represent you.

If you see me around town, be sure to say hi! I am insatiably curious and would love to hear about you. When I am not working, you may find me biking, on a run, or playing pickleball at one of our community’s parks; playing piano at an area church; or walking our dog, Teddy, downtown with my partner, Chris.

Thank you for trusting in my public service these last two years — I can’t wait to see what the next few have in store!

Onward, together,
