About Me
My Vision
My vision is to build a more inclusive, thriving, and healthier Pelham—one that reflects the strength and diversity of its people. I am committed to fostering a strong sense of community, supporting the growth of small businesses, and championing initiatives that enhance the well-being of every resident—including our seniors and individuals with disabilities. As your representative, I will ensure that every voice is heard and that we grow together through collaboration, transparency, and innovation. By prioritizing community-focused policies, economic development, and public health, we can create a Pelham where families feel supported, entrepreneurs are empowered, and every generation—regardless of age or ability—has the opportunity to flourish. Together, we are stronger as one.
Campaign Pillars
My campaign is built on four core pillars that reflect the heart of Pelham: community engagement, small business support, education, and public infrastructure. I’m committed to strengthening communication between residents and city leadership to ensure every decision reflects the voices and values of our community. By uplifting cultural and intergenerational events, we can celebrate what makes Pelham unique while building connections that unite us. Supporting small businesses through mentorship, workforce development, and student engagement will grow our local economy and empower future leaders. I also believe in investing in our city schools through expanded scholarship opportunities, vocational training, and life-saving swim safety programs that protect our children. Finally, I’ll champion infrastructure improvements that prioritize public safety, expand green spaces, and enhance Pelham’s visual appeal—making our city a vibrant, welcoming place for all. With thoughtful planning and collaboration, we’ll build a stronger, more connected Pelham—together.
