For the past two years, I have served as a school counselor at De Pere High School, helping students navigate academics, career planning, and the challenges that come with growing up. Before that, I spent 12 years as a business teacher at Bay Port High School, working to prepare students with real-world skills and confidence for life after graduation.

My commitment to the community extends beyond the classroom. I have worked at St. John’s Men’s Homeless Shelter, served as Treasurer for a statewide nonprofit student organization, and previously led the Wisconsin Marketing Education Association as its president. Whether in schools, nonprofit leadership, or county government, my focus has always been the same: support people, build strong systems, and leave things better than I found them.

Serving on the Brown County Board has been an extension of the work I have always cared about. Over the past two years, I have attended every board and committee meeting and logged more than 100 hours of service. I chaired the Broadcast Feasibility Committee, leading the effort to make County Board meetings accessible to residents so people can see how decisions are made.

I have worked alongside my colleagues to lower the county tax rate while maintaining essential services, pushed for stronger support within Human Services, and advocated for fair wages for county employees. I believe public service is about showing up, asking thoughtful questions, and making practical decisions that protect taxpayers while supporting the people who rely on county services.
