About Me

Urban Planner

Why I am Running

I'm a community advocate, an educator and an urban planner with years of experience working in our community. I have served on numerous committees and boards dedicated to making the region a better place to live, work and play. I was part of the Charleston Stormwater Standards Task Force reviewing the now updated stormwater standards placed upon new development that will protect our properties from future flooding due to incompatible development. I am currently on the Charleston Zoning Code Rewrite Community Advisory Panel guiding our new zoning standards ensuring that development no longer encroaches on our waterways. My time in the classroom demonstrated that our schools are not separate from the surrounding community, but a reflection of the health and vitality of our neighborhoods. I have also been in local government doing my part to ensure that development serves the community, that transportation is safe, that transit is adequate, that our small businesses have the support they need to thrive in this ever global economy.
