Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born a Buckeye at OSU Medical Center and I am a lifelong Ohioan. My pull in life has always been to serve my community. Outside of working as an Operations Manager, I volunteer my time wherever it is needed. I have worked with Ohio Harm Reduction for the last 3 years distributing harm reduction supplies and hosting conversations in communities around Ohio to raise awareness. I’ve organized fundraising events to collect donations for local shelters. I do street outreach in homeless encampments to deliver supplies and resources to unhoused Ohioans. I skate for the Roundtown Roller Derby League. Shortly before the pandemic we started an all-ages JR league to give kids a safe afterschool activity that could be done even in the colder months. I look forward to resuming the JR league with the kids when it's safe I miss skating with them. I have not, and I will not ask for donations for my campaign. I know Ohioans are stretched thin from the Pandemic. Please, spend the money on your families, not politicians. I will represent every regardless of beliefs, background, or political affiliation. I will hold office walk-in days, town halls, and zoom meetings. I want everyone to be heard and represented. Let’s all work together to build stronger communities. We aren't red or blue, only scarlet & gray!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
