“I’m focused on policies that directly impact families here in Forsyth County. That starts with healthcare, especially maternal health. Georgia’s maternal mortality rate is too high, and we must ensure every mother has access to quality care before, during, and after pregnancy. I’m also committed to supporting children and families through fair, child-centered systems and access to affordable childcare. Strong schools, workforce development, and support for small businesses are essential to keeping our community thriving. And like many here, I care deeply about public safety and taking practical steps to prevent problems before they start.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I was born and raised in Georgia and grew up in our public schools, which is why I’m a strong supporter of them. I was raised with values rooted in service, compassion, and care for others. I’ve worked as a mental health therapist since 2009, supporting children, families, veterans, and military families through the Department of Veterans Affairs. This work has given me a firsthand understanding of the challenges people face —and where our systems fall short.”
