I've spent over 20 years solving complex problems in public service, from managing county health departments to leading operations at the Oregon Health Authority. What I've learned is that effective leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about bringing people together, analyzing the data, and finding solutions that work for everyone.
 

South Salem is growing fast, and with that growth comes real challenges: traffic, infrastructure, housing affordability, and maintaining the neighborhood character we love.

I bring deep experience in strategic planning, performance management, and budget development. I know how to balance competing priorities and make smart investments for our community's long-term future, not just quick fixes. I'm running for Salem City Council because South Salem deserves a leader who can manage growth thoughtfully and work collaboratively to build the community we all want to live in for years to come.
