As a lifelong resident of Callaway County, I learned early the value of hard work, community, and helping your neighbors. Growing up in rural Missouri, I participated in FFA and FBLA, volunteered at the Callaway Senior Center, and worked throughout high school before attending Westminster College to study Political Science.
My career in healthcare and Missouri Medicaid services gave me firsthand experience with the challenges working families face when it comes to healthcare access, rising costs, and economic security. That experience strengthened my belief that government should work for everyday people — not just those at the top.
I’m running for the Missouri House of Representatives to fight for working families, rural communities, family farms, unions, public schools, and first responders across Mid-Missouri. I believe in practical leadership that puts people before politics, supports public safety, and gives rural Missourians a stronger voice in Jefferson City.
