Expand all | Collapse all

I am a small hobby business owner with a focus on donating a portion of proceeds back to local non-profit organizations. I also volunteer for the Daviess County Democratic Party serving on the Executive Committee and chairs several committees. A Louisville, KY native, I graduated from the University of Louisville with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. My early career included 10 years in managerial roles at National City. After my husband and I relocated to Owensboro, KY, over 30 years ago, my focus shifted to raising our three children and I was actively involved in non-profit work, including Junior League, serving as Daviess County CASA Board Chair, and leading PTOs at Highland Elementary and other schools. Completing the Prichard Committee’s CPIL program spurred my 19-year tenure as an School-Based Decision Making Council parent and support staff representative, uniquely serving all three school levels simultaneously at one point. I also worked 13 years for Daviess County Public Schools in various capacities including teaching computer skills to K-5 students, sponsoring the STLP student club, and serving on several district-level committees. I enjoy reading, crafting, watching soccer, playing piano, and walking my dogs.
  • My top priority is protecting and strengthening Kentucky’s public schools. I oppose diverting taxpayer dollars to private schools, which courts have repeatedly ruled unconstitutional. I believe education policy should focus on fully funding public education, providing pre-K for all, reducing class sizes, and increasing teacher and staff pay.
  • I know firsthand what a $13-14 an hour paycheck looks like and it’s not a livable wage I advocate for raising wages, supporting family leave, and closing the gap between CEO pay and worker pay. I believe Kentucky has a system problem, not a people problem.
  • Families are doing more with less. I support proactive programs that prevent homelessness and help families before crisis hits. I will call for policies that make childcare and housing affordable and fair.
• Public Education – Fully fund public schools, pre-K, and teacher and staff pay; stop diverting taxpayer money to private programs.

• Working Families – Raise wages, protect workers, and make Kentucky affordable again.
• Health & Family Support – Protect Medicaid, expand care access, and modernize family leave.
• Integrity in Leadership – Govern with honesty, transparency, and respect.

• People Over Party – Listen, collaborate, and deliver solutions for all Kentuckians.
