I’m a daughter of Cleveland, and my leadership is defined by one simple rule: Always show up. From my childhood home in Ohio City to my days at Jane Addams High School in the Central neighborhood, I’ve lived and worked across ward lines with the understanding that while our boundaries are drawn on paper, our struggles and successes are shared in the streets we walk.
For over a decade, I’ve been on the ground, in the trenches, doing the work. From my years navigating our K-12 classrooms to my work supporting our schools today, I have lived the challenges and triumphs of our students and families. And whether I was organizing tenants to stand against predatory out-of-state landlords, making tough calls to modernize our public transit, or fighting to give our local businesses the resources they need to thrive, I’ve been a constant presence in the neighborhoods we love, working with residents and community leaders to help move us all forward.
But the stakes have never been higher. We cannot afford to send leadership to the Statehouse that isn’t prepared to fight.
We can't afford "business as usual" while our families, neighbors, and friends are being stretched thin and our voices are being silenced. We cannot let another generation of Cleveland students sit in underfunded classrooms or wonder if a diploma will be enough to build a life here. Our families are the backbone of this city, and they deserve a representative who sees our children’s potential as our greatest resource - not an afterthought.
I’m running for State Representative because the hardworking, homegrown residents of Cleveland deserve a relentless advocate who won't back down until we get the resources and respect we’ve earned. Join me and donate today.
