​I am committed to building community.

I enjoy living in communities where diverse people come together to support each other. I am running for Town Council to help Chapel Hill become an affordable place for everyone to live, work, and have fun. Our kids go to public school and you can see us around at many community events. 

 

I bring a track record of public service to Chapel Hill. 

My public service record includes improving cooperation between the Town and CHCCS, advocating for funding for parks and recreation, and helping launch a volunteer trail maintenance program.

While serving on the Planning Commission, I supported dense housing projects along transit routes and worked on balancing housing growth with preserving natural areas. I participated actively in enhancing our land use ordinance. 

​

I have dedicated my career to community service. 

My career has focused on assisting immigrants and refugees. After a stop work order in the U.S. refugee resettlement program, I returned to teaching English at Durham Tech. My experiences center me in hope for a better America.
