Personal:
• By the day, I’m a brand manager in the medical aesthetics industry - where I help our products grow through smart strategy, clear communication, and bold thinking. That same energy and focus are exactly what I want to bring to Wendell’s future: a thoughtful, people-first approach that balances progress with preservation.

At home, I’m a proud mom of three and wife to a small business owner. I’ve been so proud to call Wendell home since 2015. Whether I’m cheering from the sidelines of the ball field, walking downtown, or spending time at our parks, I’m always reminded how lucky we are to live in a town like Wendell.

Outside of work, I’m an avid equestrian and lifelong lover of the outdoors. I’m happiest on horseback or exploring all of the natural beauty our area has to offer.
