Background: 

I was born and raised in northeast Wisconsin, and have resided in De Pere for the past 15 years. I earned a master’s degree in English from Marquette University and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and English from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have served as an Alderperson on the De Pere City Council representing District 2 since 2017, and was chosen by my colleagues to serve as City Council President. I am also the Chair of the Historic Preservation Commission, a member of the De Pere Board of Public Works and Board of Health, and volunteer on Definitely De Pere’s Design & Public Arts Committee. I also work as a Senior Universal Banker at a local credit union.

Why I'm running:

We have made tremendous progress as a city in recent years, and I am running to carry that momentum forward. Since I joined the Council, we have: 1) Secured an unprecedented $55 million in federal and state funding for the Brown County Southern Bridge project. 2) Approved a timeline to build a new Legion Pool in 2026; 3) Resurfaced more than 100 streets, and successfully lobbied Wisconsin DOT to add reconstruction of Main Ave and Reid St (State Hwy 32) back to their list of future projects; and 4) Increased the public safety budget from $9.10 million to $10.67 million.
