My husband and I moved to Chili years ago to set down roots and grow our family. We chose Chili for the same reasons many people do: good schools, beautiful parks and green spaces, and a welcoming community. Today, as we raise our daughter here, I care deeply about making sure Chili remains the kind of place where families can put down roots and thrive for generations.
My background is in program management: multimillion-dollar infrastructure, IT, and construction projects, delivered on time and on budget. I know how to plan, how to hold people accountable, and how to communicate clearly with the people who depend on decisions I make. That's what I'm bringing to Chili.
Chili has had competent leadership. This race is about raising the standard, not tearing down what exists or what’s already working.
I’m running because good stewardship means planning ahead, setting clear standards, and making sure residents can see how their government is performing. My background in program management and regulations gives me the tools to approach town government with a focus on clear processes, measurable performance, and long-term planning.
As Chili continues to grow, there are practical ways we can strengthen how the town operates—from making reassessments more predictable for residents, to establishing clear infrastructure standards, planning proactively for infrastructure and family needs, and reporting on town performance in a way people can easily understand. My goal is to build on Chili's strengths while making local government more transparent, more accountable, and better prepared for the future.
