About Me:
I am a 12-year resident of Roseland, deeply passionate about our community and committed to its growth and well-being. My experience as a healthcare executive of 22 years, positions me well to serve as a Roseland councilmember, as both roles require strong leadership, strategic decision-making, and community-focused thinking. I have a clear understanding of the challenges and opportunities we face. I believe in fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable Roseland for all residents.
