Fun Fact
I live by NILFOTHWYS — Nothing in life’s free, only through hard work you’ll succeed — a motto I’ve followed for over 10 years.
Past Experience
I have lived in Etna Township for five years, and in that time I’ve seen both its challenges and its incredible potential. As a substitute teacher and active member of our community, I’ve worked closely with families, schools, and local leaders, giving me firsthand insight into what our township needs most—clear communication, responsible growth, and a government that truly listens.
I’m running for trustee because I believe in transparency, accountability, and solutions that put people first. My experience working with students and community members has taught me how to build trust, solve problems, and lead with empathy. I’m committed to making Etna a place we can all be proud of, where progress is driven by collaboration, not politics.
