Mission

Address our aging roads while keeping our neighborhoods safe, quiet, and maintained. Seek feedback from residents to increase accessibility and community-led events while shaping our Village for the future.

My Background

My career in the electric utility industry began 15 years ago. In that time, I have held various technical roles that included leading teams in a represented environment. My professional experience includes safety initiatives, training program development, and project management, along with budgetary and resource optimization.

I am inspired to serve my neighbors in Hales Corners by leveraging the strengths of our village to ensure a bright future for generations to come.

Personal Interests

I have resided in Hales Corners since 2012 and love it! Our household enjoys hosting gatherings that bring people together over home-cooked meals, or relaxing while playing board games or listening to music. We are a household driven by life-long learning, community service, and gathering experiences through our travels. You can often find us outdoors, frequenting Boerner Botanical Gardens or biking and hiking in Whitnall Park.

In the past I have volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Milwaukee as an opportunity to pay it forward and set a positive example.

Most recently I have volunteered as a member of the Hales Corners Community Development Authority and July 4th Committee.
