A little bit about me...
Harrisburg is my home, and its prosperity is deeply important to me. As a proud lifelong resident, I am committed to serving the city I love. My goal is to support the mayor in advancing their agenda while ensuring accountability and preventing unnecessary excesses. I am passionate about revitalizing Harrisburg’s struggling neighborhoods and contributing to a bold, forward-thinking vision for the city's future.
My Story
I am a life-long resident of the city of Harrisburg. I’ve lived on the Hill, Mid-Town, and now currently uptown.Harrisburg is my home.
My education journey took me through Downey Elementary, Ben Franklin Elementary, Marshall Elementary, Harrisburg Cathedral Elementary, Bishop McDevitt High School, and Central Penn Business College. I also had the honor of serving in the U.S. Navy.
With over 25 years of experience in the real estate industry, I have worked as a mortgage broker, real estate investor, and new home sales advisor. My passion lies in advancing affordable housing and promoting economic empowerment for ALL citizens.
In addition to my work in real estate, I’ve served as an Associate Minister at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. I have had the privilege of leading our youth on international mission trips and organizing outreach efforts, including providing weekly hot meals to our homeless neighbors in Harrisburg. I am also currently working on the board of Eden Village Harrisburg, where we are working to find long-term solutions to house the chronically unhoused.
​
​I am running for City Council because I want to see a city that is fair for everyone. Too many of our neighbors feel that the city does not work for them. The high cost of rent, street violence, and poor economic opportunities have left many feeling as if they have no future in Harrisburg.
A stronger, thriving Harrisburg is within our grasp. By working together, we can take on the challenge of improving our city and achieve more than we ever could alone.
