“I am not a career politician and that is exactly what South Carolina needs in its State House. I am a social worker, registered nurse, and postpartum doula. The perspective I've gained through the years working in healthcare, social services, and maternal health is desperately lacking in Columbia.”

Everyone deserves the chance to live in the community where they work, but skyrocketing prices are pushing working families out. Teachers, nurses, and first responders shouldn’t have to drive an hour just to serve the community they love. Living paycheck to paycheck is stressful.”
