My top issues
I am passionate about building and improving upon systems that empower people to perform at their best. My work is driven by a belief that education, when thoughtfully designed and aligned with real-world needs, can transform organizations and lives. I am particularly motivated by opportunities that combine innovation, compliance, and human-centered leadership to create sustainable, mission-focused impact.
My involvement
My passion for suicide prevention, supporting the unhoused, and protecting children comes from a belief that no one should be left without protection, hope, or advocacy. These issues require proactive leadership, coordinated support systems, and a commitment to prevention rather than crisis response alone. I am motivated by work that strengthens safeguards and creates meaningful pathways to safety and stability.
