With a BSBA and a forthcoming MBA from ECU, I bring a business-driven approach to county governance. I don't just want goals, I want a fiscally responsible roadmap that ensures Onslow County is a place where our children can afford to stay, work, and thrive.

GEORGETOWN RENAISSANCE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Board Member focusing on economic development and cultural heritage.

I’m not a career politician, I’m a homeschooling mom of five and the wife of a Marine veteran who is now a police officer. I’ve lived in Onslow County for 25 years, and like you, I’ve watched our community change. Growth is good, but only when it works for the people who live here, not just the developers building here.

LOCAL HEALTHCARE

Local healthcare is a must. As a mother of a child with Type 1 Diabetes, I know what it’s like to have to drive to Greenville or Wilmington for care. We must incentivize healthcare professionals to build their careers here.

We need smart growth that requires accountability. We cannot let infrastructure fall behind. I will fight for ordinances that hold developers responsible for the long-term impact of their projects.
