My Values
A Strong Economy Builds Thriving Communities
- I’m a Penn State graduate in Management and Business. I’m focused on affordable living, good jobs, and responsible stewardship of tax dollars—not political theater.
- I have real-world experience with budgets, family and caregiving costs, and the impact of rising living expenses.
- My background as an educator, and in business are grounded in the everyday financial realities our community faces.
Small Business Powers the Heart of Our Community
- I’m a former buyer for QVC and Macy’s with firsthand experience navigating supply chains and pricing pressures.
- I understand what it takes to keep businesses competitive and jobs local in a changing economy.
- I support small businesses, farms, and entrepreneurs—and believe government should be a partner, not an obstacle.
Education Opens Doors and Strengthens Lives
- I’m a former Spanish teacher with decades of classroom experience fighting for children and families.
- I’m a museum educator who is an expert at explaining complex ideas to all ages and abilities.
- I’m committed to equal opportunity, fairly-funded public primary and secondary schools, affordable college and trade schools, workforce readiness, and lifelong learning.
Our Rural Way of Life Honors Agriculture
- I value land stewardship, responsible development, and protecting the working landscapes that define District 13.
- I will fight to protect affordable, quality public water.
- I understand that agriculture is not just an industry—it’s a way of life and an economic backbone of our community.
