I’m a lifelong Hoosier with humble beginnings and a career rooted in social services. My life’s work has been about showing up for families when they need support most, and that’s why I’m running for State Senate. Indiana must do more for our children, our families, and working Hoosiers and I’m not waiting for someone else to lead that fight.

Professionally, I serve as Director of Clinical Operations for an Indianapolis nonprofit, overseeing mental health services for youth and families in crisis. Every day I see what happens when housing is unstable, when children in foster care lack support, and when students with special needs don’t receive the resources they deserve. These aren’t abstract policy debates to me they are real lives, real families, and real futures on the line.

I’m already doing the work as a local elected official, and I’m ready to take that fight to the Statehouse. As President of the Pike Township Board, I’ve worked to stabilize families, protect local resources, and invest in solutions that strengthen our community. I believe government should meet people where they are and deliver results that improve everyday life.

I’ll fight for housing affordability because stable housing is the foundation for everything else. I’ll fight for stronger support for foster youth so children in state care are protected, guided, and given real opportunities to succeed. I’ll fight to expand resources for students with special needs because every child deserves a fair chance to thrive. And I’ll fight for real investment in communities that have been overlooked for far too long.

This campaign is about building an Indiana that works for everyone, not just those at the top. It’s about protecting families, expanding opportunity, and making sure no child or community is left behind. I’m running to bring frontline experience, local leadership, and relentless advocacy to the Statehouse because our future depends on it.
