I'm ready to bring my experience in health care access, public education and community engagement to the Missouri House. My background in communications and public policy positions me to help advance policy changes that will benefit Missourians from all walks of life.
Policy Experience and Community Connections
In my current role as Director of Health Policy at a regional philanthropy, I've partnered with nonprofit and civic organizations to advocate for health and mental health care in urban and rural areas, and remove barriers to programs for those who qualify.
A Record of Public Service
I raised my three children in the Kansas City Public Schools and served 7 years on the Kansas City School Board. My volunteer service in the KC schools and partnerships with other education leaders reinforced for me the vital role public schools play in every community.
Preparation for the Job Ahead
I grew up in Missouri, and my husband and I have lived in Kansas City for more than 30 years. I've worked for policy change for decades, locally and in the state Capitol and am ready to use these skills in Jefferson City to represent the interests of House District 25 residents and the Kansas City region.
