People Over Politics. Community Over Division.

I know what it means to struggle, rebuild, and overcome obstacles that too many families quietly face every day. I have experienced housing instability, navigated broken systems, battled personal adversity, and witnessed firsthand how one setback can change the course of a family's future.

But I have also witnessed something more powerful: the resilience of our community.

"My story was built in Saint Paul. From neighborhood recreation centers and shelters to local businesses, public transit, and community spaces, I have lived the experiences that connect us all. These experiences taught me that true representation is not about politics—it is about people."

I am grassroots. I was built by this community long before I ever considered public office. Faith, service, and perseverance have guided every chapter of my journey.

Rather than allowing hardship to define me, I chose to build solutions. I became a nonprofit founder, small business owner, behavioral health professional, real estate professional, and community advocate committed to helping others create stability and opportunity.

I earned my Master of Science in Nonprofit and Public Administration because I believe leadership should be grounded in accountability, action, and service.

Today, my mission is simple: build a community where no family has to choose between healthcare and paying their bills, where affordable housing is accessible, where homelessness is prevented before it begins, where mental health and addiction are treated with compassion instead of punishment, and where public safety is built through trust, prevention, and community partnerships.

"We have to ask ourselves: who are these people claiming to speak for us? Why are they chosen over our heads, and why are they missing from our neighborhoods when it matters most?"

True community representation shouldn't feel like an executive decision made from above. It's time to demand systemic changes that shift the power back to the people, change our political framework, and put community needs first.
