Why I’m Serving

I moved to Whitefish Bay 6 years ago after falling in love with the family-friendliness of the community. I feel a deep responsibility to help improve our community, even when it’s already an amazing place to be, and that is why I ran for the Whitefish Bay Village Board of Trustees (click here to learn what a Village Trustee is and what the Village Board does).

As a Trustee, I will support and advance efforts by our business district and village leaders to evolve our Silver Spring district as a destination for residents, foster an inclusive sense of community, and support forward-thinking environmental initiatives.

I will also make sure our community preserves the qualities that make it so amazing: our top-notch school district, our phenomenal public services and amenities, our sound fiscal planning, and our community safety.

I have seen first-hand how much we can accomplish when we combine passion, vision, expertise, and community-building.

I look forward to working with the strong leadership of the Village to develop new strategies to help our city grow and thrive.
