I’m running for Kent City Council because our city deserves leadership that listens, leads with facts, and puts people before politics. As a college professor, small business owner, mental health professional, and current Kent School Board Director, I’ve built a career around problem-solving, accountability, and common sense solutions.

I grew up in a working-class, military family, raised by a single mom who never relied on government assistance. I worked multiple jobs to put myself through college and now run a company that employs local residents and serves vulnerable populations. I’ve seen how government can either lift people up or get in the way, and I believe in doing what works, not just what’s popular.

Public safety, fiscal responsibility, and making Kent a place where families can thrive are my top priorities. I will work across political lines to making the city of Kent safe, our tax dollars are spent wisely, and every resident feels heard. I’m not here to play politics. I’m here to serve with integrity and results.

The future of Kent should not be defined by extremes. It should be shaped by leaders who are reasonable, experienced, and ready to work. I would be honored to earn your vote.
