Fun Fact
I love nature and going backpacking. I backpacked the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine in 2022.
Past Experience
I have lived in Bogue for almost 40 years. I plan to represent the residents of Bogue with transparency and accountability. I hope to preserve the charm of the town while making the necessary improvements to enhance the quality of life for all Bogue residents.
My Top Issues
Offering alternative methods for public input and participation
I would like to offer a live stream of the public meetings to allow access to more citizens who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to participate in the meetings.
Collaborating with residents for neighborhood improvement plans
I would like to hear what people in the community would like to see improved around town.
Streamlining business licensing and permitting
We should allow our small business to thrive, and not create unnecessary struggles for them.
