About Me.
-
I am a Hoover High School graduate, Class of 1994; Once a Viking, Always a Viking!
-
I graduated with my Bachelors in Business Management from Malone University in 2003.
-
I have been employed with a Fortune 500 company in the financial sector for 28 years where I have held various roles that include policy governance, compliance, analytics and leadership.
-
I have been married to my husband for 27 years and we have three boys: one in college and twins in high school. We also enjoy time spent with our Corgi.
I believe in Transparency.
I believe that the best way to earn your trust, is to be transparent. I have been calling on my local government to be transparent for over a decade. I have routinely attended North Canton City Council meetings, and while I often agree with decisions that are made, I have also challenged them at times. I have been known to ask the important questions of my city's leaders. I have routinely requested public records to obtain the facts. I have shared this information with the community when I do.
I believe in Open Communication.
I believe that a community is strong when citizens are informed. I have been demonstrating this for many years by providing information to community members and co-administrating a North Canton community-centric Facebook page with over 1,400 members. Having all of the facts is important for making important decisions. Establishing open communication with City Administration and the Mayor will be essential to balancing a budget and making decisions that impact city services.
I believe that by asking for your vote, I should make myself available to you when you have concerns or questions. I pledge to keep the lines of communication open with my constituents. You'll see updates from me from time to time on social media. And you'll receive timely responses from me to phone calls and emails. And if I cannot answer your question, I will try to find someone who can.
I am Community-Driven.
I love our community! And I believe what makes our city so great, is many of the great programs that are offered by volunteer-run organizations. I have been finding ways to be involved in the community for decades with one consistent purpose in mind: serving the people who live here.

My volunteerism began early in life when I joined the levy campaign to build a brand new Hoover High School, as a senior in high school, in 1994.
-
I served in various roles in school PTOs, booster clubs, and ran a chess club for K-2 students for several years at Clearmount Elementary School.
-
In 2024, I championed city-wide efforts to retain our local Safety Dispatch services. When outsourcing was on the table, I helped circulate petitions and appeared before council multiple times, calling for them to retain North Canton's Safety Dispatch. I'm proud to say this effort was a success!

Community Service
I was honored to be presented with a Proclamation from Mayor Stephan Wilder, for my years of service to the North Canton Youth Football Association.
Collaborating with City Hall
Championing Community Events
Vocal When it Matters
I worked closely with Mayor Stephan Wilder to develop guidelines to safely carry out North Canton Little League and North Canton Youth Football seasons in the Covid era, ensuring our local youth had access to strong programs when their mental health and well being mattered most.
I pushed for a return of traditional North Canton July 4th festivities in the summer of 2021, turning around the initial decision made by city administration to cancel all events.
I have used public speaks opportunities during council meetings to address council members and city administration on topics of importance.
