Sharing another Ballotpedia Q&A!
Q: Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
A: I look up to my dad, a Coast Guard veteran, whose example of service, discipline, and integrity has profoundly shaped who I am. From a young age, I watched him put service above self, face challenges with calm determination, and approach every responsibility with honesty, accountability, and preparation. He taught me the importance of always being ready, thinking ahead, and acting thoughtfully under pressure. His dedication to protecting and serving the public inspired me to make service a central principle in my own life.
I strive to follow his example in all that I do—as a parent, small business owner, volunteer, and public servant. On City Council and as Mayor Pro Tem, I have worked to show up, do the work, and make decisions that reflect fairness, thoughtfulness, and a focus on the greater good. I prioritize transparency, collaboration, and preparation in every project, whether managing budgets, guiding policy, or engaging with residents. My dad’s example reminds me that integrity, commitment, and preparedness are the foundations of leadership and the keys to making a meaningful, lasting impact in our community.
