EXPERIENCED … INNOVATIVE … RESPONSIVE … COMMITTED​

“I’m a leader fully engaged with the community open to new ideas for the City. I respect the past, address the needs of today and position Williamsburg for the future.” ​

 
 

My strong work ethic and passion for Williamsburg has served me well as a member of City Council. I have a proven track record of getting the job done for Williamsburg residents - enhancing economic development initiatives, investing in public safety and supporting modern, safe housing. I’m dedicated to preserving our low property tax rate and ensuring our K-12 students have the best education.​​

My successful business career provides expertise to my City Council liaison roles to key organizations, including the Economic Development Authority, Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce, Women’s Business Council, and the Williamsburg Public Art Council. ​

I’m firmly committed to representing Williamsburg’s needs, engaging in over 250 events and meetings annually. It’s important for me to hear from residents to consider their views, interests, ideas and concerns when policies are contemplated. ​

I’m optimistic about Williamsburg and want to continue positioning our city for the future and see ventures such as a new library, live performance venue and downtown children’s park come to fruition. ​

 

My Vision and Priorities for Williamsburg

 
 

QUALITY SCHOOLS: Committed to supporting teachers, inclusion of parents, highest quality schools and addressing achievement gaps for students to reach their full potential.
