A Neighbor. A Leader. A Problem Solver.

Effective leadership begins with listening. The best decisions are made when leaders take the time to learn from residents, study the facts, and plan for the future.

Strong communities are built through thoughtful leadership, collaboration, and responsible decision-making. I am a professional who will read the fine print, listen to people and do the work to get results.

Throughout my career, I have worked to help individuals, organizations, and communities solve problems and move forward with confidence.

As an attorney, I developed the ability to analyze complex issues, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions based on facts and long-term impact.

My professional experience includes serving as a trade advisor for the Ohio Department of Development. I also represented utilities in Federal Court, negotiated employment contracts and served as a risk manager for an international non-profit.  All of this experience strengthened my understanding of economic development and strategic planning.
