Property Tax Relief
Wisconsin families, seniors, and homeowners deserve property tax relief that keeps homeownership affordable while protecting the essential services our communities depend on.
Affordable & Accessible Healthcare
Healthcare should be affordable and available close to home. I will work to expand access, reduce costs, and strengthen healthcare services for both rural and urban communities.

Community-Led Growth
Strong communities deserve a voice in shaping their future. I support responsible growth that creates jobs while protecting the character of our communities.
My Priorities
The priorities I'll fight for every day in Madison.
Strong Public Schools
Every child deserves an excellent public education. I will support strong schools, outstanding teachers, and opportunities that prepare students for success.
Data Center Accountability
Wisconsin can welcome new technology while protecting our communities. I support local control, transparency, protection of our water and farmland, and making sure large data centers—not residents—pay the costs they create.
Listening First
Good government starts by listening. I believe every resident deserves a representative who is accessible, transparent, and focused on solving real problems for the people of District 72.
Why I'm Running for District 72
Built on listening, practical leadership, and putting District 72 first.
I never expected to run for public office. My career has been built on solving problems, improving systems, and helping people succeed.
Throughout my career, I learned that the best solutions don't come from the loudest voices; they come from listening, asking thoughtful questions, and bringing people together.
I'm running because I believe District 72 deserves a representative who listens first, solves problems, and works alongside our communities to build a stronger Wisconsin.

❤️ Running for Wisconsin's 72nd Assembly District
Like many people, my career didn't follow a straight line.
I began with a dream of becoming a pastry chef. I loved creating something that brought people together, and I believed that's where my future would be.
I was told "no".
Early in my career, I was told that moving from the kitchen into hotel operations wasn't realistic.
For many people, that might have been the end of the conversation.
For me.......
it was just the beginning.
Curiosity changed everything.
That determination led me to become the General Manager of a hotel.
Then another question kept following me everywhere I worked:
How can we make this work better?
Technology opened a new world.
I joined a hospitality technology company and spent years helping hotels open around the world. Whether I was working in Chicago, Spain, Austria, or throughout the Caribbean, I learned something that has stayed with me throughout my career:
No matter where in the world I traveled, people want the same things.
To be heard.
To be respected.
To have the opportunity to succeed.
That's the lesson I want to bring to Madison. Good leadership begins by listening.
I'm not running because I've spent my life in politics.
I'm running because I've spent my life solving problems.
Listening.
Learning.
Working with people.
Finding better answers.
That's exactly how I'll serve District 72.
