When my husband and I decided on the Cleveland area, we knew we wanted good schools and proximity to the lake. After much deliberation, we decided on Rocky River. We didn't know what we were in for...We were met with the best friends and neighbors, amazing teachers and librarians, and a walkable and bike-able city with great shopping.

It's been my privilege and honor to serve on the City Council in Rocky River. I have been able to make an impact as a leader in green initiatives and human rights, while working as a member of the council to make sure that the city's finances are monitored.

I have learned so much as a chair to the Planning, Zoning and Economic Development Committee and feel the boards are doing a great job in keeping our city forward thinking while holding on to the vintage vibes that we all love and cherish. It's not about re-creating what existed in the 1900's, but about nodding to what came before us, with respect.

In my time on city council, I've been

• certified as a Cuyahoga County Recycling Ambassador
• a member of the Rocky River Green Team
• a member of Rocky River Black Lives Matter
• a member of the NEO Local Government Clean Energy Caucus
• and an attending member of Power a Clean Future Ohio

I highlight these groups because they are my passion for Rocky River, and Cuyahoga, and Ohio, and the United States, and the world. I am committed to making a difference here, and hope, like a butterfly's wings, the vibration travels.

I've been and want to continue to be a fiscally responsible and forward thinking member of the Rocky River City Council. I'd love your support!

As always, I am here to listen and to act for the good of the people of Rocky River.
