After graduating from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas in 2020 with dual bachelor's degrees in Mathematics with Teaching Licensure and Leadership in Ministry, I secured my first teaching job at Fayetteville High School. Over the last 4 years, I have been blessed to work with the students and faculty of FHS, which has given me a unique perspective on the ways that city policies and issues affect the families and young people of Fayetteville. I am a member of the Fayetteville Education Association (teacher's union) and serve as the club sponsor for the FHS Genders and Sexualities Alliance.
I serve as a board member of Cocoon Collective NWA, a local nonprofit that focuses on providing housing, care, and auxiliary services for young trans and queer people in the region who are struggling to find safe, sustainable, and affirming homes. I am also a founding member and active participant in Friends of Palestine Northwest Arkansas, a local grassroots movement to advocate and educate within our community for the Palestinian people, and all people in occupied lands across the globe.
I believe that my experiences as and educator, activist, and volunteer in Fayetteville have given me specific insights on the issues that our community considers the most pressing. I have advocated for multiple citizen-led initiatives before the Fayetteville City Council, and those experiences play a major part in my decision to run for this office. I strive to be an active participant and a listening ear to those doing amazing work in our city, and if elected I hope to continue to do so. I look forward to partnering with my neighbors to generate and bring forth a collective vision for the best possible future for this city that we all love.
Fayetteville leads our state and our region in many ways, and I hope we continue that legacy as our nation, state, and local communities experience the inevitable growth and changes that we will see in the coming years. We must be able to monitor and adapt in order to protect and provide hope for the future generations of Fayetteville.
