I'm a licensed and local residential real estate agent. I'm involved in local government, elected to the Clermont City Council, Seat 2, in November 2025. I'm also involved with the South Lake Chamber of Commerce as a member of the Public Policy and Economic Development Committee and the Realtors Association of Lake and Sumter Counties, serving as the Public Policy Committee Chair (January 2026-present). I previously worked for nearly 20 years in higher education. I earned a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology and master's degree in Student Affairs Administration in Higher Education from Ball State University.
