Hi! I'm Maureen. I grew up in Tifton and have lived in Forsyth County for six years. I'm an accountant and I have five rescue dogs: a husky, a black lab, and three pit mixes. I graduated with my BBA in 2012 and my Masters of Accountancy in 2013, both from Valdosta State University.

Our veterans deserve the best healthcare possible. I don't believe that billionaires should be controlling our politics. Medical debt should not be one of the highest contributors of household bankruptcy. Serving in our government should not increase your personal wealth. I am running for our state legislature because we deserve to be represented by people who understand our lives. I believe in a Georgia that is better for all of us.
