I HAVE COMMITTED MY CAREER to building liveable cities and care deeply about Ferndale’s future. I moved here with my husband because of Ferndale’s unique characteristics as a vibrant, healthy, and diverse community.

MY PRIORITIES FOR FERNDALE revolve around sensible and responsible budgeting, economic development, maintaining the quality of life we enjoy in Ferndale, and driving innovation in our local government.

I’M DETERMINED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE and work on our community’s behalf to ensure a prosperous future. In my five years as the Associate Director at the Michigan Suburbs Alliance, I have worked to revitalize urban communities by encouraging redevelopment in our mature communities, promote regional cooperation and inter-governmental cooperation.

AS YOUR FERNDALE CITY COUNCILWOMAN, I will put my professional experience to work for our community.

I deeply value public input and believe an inclusive, participatory approach is key to good decision-making. I welcome the opportunity to listen to my neighbors, so please contact me if you have comments, ideas, or questions!
