“For over ten years I have dedicated my personal and professional time to causes I believe in. From statewide coalition-building within the LGBTQ+ community to one-on-one client services for the homeless population of Sioux Falls, I have spent years advocating on behalf of marginalized communities. I am deeply committed to listening to the voices of community members who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Driven by past experience, I am determined to advocate for all South Dakotans”

“I'm running because I've spent years working directly with South Dakotans and seeing what happens when our systems don't meet the needs of the people.”
(SDPB 2026 Meet the Candidates) “My background is in social work and community service. I've worked alongside justice-impacted youth, families struggling to meet basic needs, and unhoused neighbors through street medicine. In those spaces, I've seen how decisions made at the state level show up in people's everyday lives — whether someone can find safe housing, afford childcare, earn enough from one job to support a family, or access help when they need it.”
(SDPB 2026 Meet the Candidates) “I believe government should make it easier for people to build safe, healthy, dignified lives. I'm running because I want the experiences of the people I've served — and the people who do that work every day — represented when those decisions are being made in Pierre.”

“District 15 is the heart of Sioux Falls. It is home to established neighborhoods, thriving local businesses, downtown, schools, churches, parks, and the people who have helped shape our city's character for generations. It deserves thoughtful leadership that listens carefully, solves problems responsibly, and invests in the future of the community we all share.”
