About

This is the section where I’m supposed to tell you that I have lived in Greensboro for nine years, that I’m very involved in the community, that I’m innovative, that I’m forward thinking, that I’m a proven leader and so on. While all of those things are true, it’s also true that I’m a human being that cares about others. If you’re looking to find out more about my involvement in the community you can do so here and you can find out more about some of the issues that are important to me here.

I’d rather use this space to tell you that I’ve been fortunate enough to have ups and downs in my life, all of which have allowed me to grow as a person. By the young age of 20 (started when I was 17) I accomplished an early life goal of getting a full time radio job at 107.5 KZL, a Top 40 radio station right here in Greensboro. I did that for six years and had more fun than anyone should ever be allowed to at their job. By the age of 26 I knew that my life was going in a different direction so I did something that absolutely terrified me – I hung up my headphones and changed careers, not jobs, careers.

I decided to use my degree from the UNCG Bryan School of Business and enter the world of marketing and public relations. Right out of the gate I was blessed to get a great job at the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a camp for children with chronic illnesses in Randleman, NC. I handled the media and marketing for the camp and had some huge accomplishments along the way – most importantly I played a part in ensuring that kids could come to Victory Junction and have a life changing experience.

My time at Victory Junction proved to be extremely valuable from a professional standpoint and it opened my eyes to a side of life that I had never before seen or experienced. Today, I work for a credit union as the marketing communications supervisor. The organization is member-owned and before we launch a new product or service we always ask ourselves, “How does this benefit the member-owner?” If the issue at hand doesn’t benefit the members then we opt out of moving forward. When I am elected to the Greensboro City Council I plan on using that same concept by asking one simple question when making a decision, “How does this benefit the citizens of Greensboro?”

Since we are getting to know each other I’d like to tell you some other things about myself. I’m an avid cyclist that averages 125 miles on my bike each week in the summer. Some of my friends may claim that I’m occasionally stubborn. These same individuals would highlight my dedication, compassion and generosity. Want to know something? Just ask.

I look forward to serving you when I’m elected to the Greensboro City Council.
