With almost a decade of advocacy experience through the Junior League of Gainesville’s State Public Affairs Committee, I have been actively involved in Florida politics, speaking with state representatives about important issues impacting women and children in our community. The pandemic heightened my desire to ensure western Alachua County voices are represented at the county commission level.
But I am not new to being involved in the community.
I have and will continue to be a part of strengthening our community and our future leaders. I am not a politician who is just playing a game. I love this community and I am grateful for the opportunity to run for office. With the support of our community, I look forward to serving our community in a new way.
A few of the local organizations I have been a part of include VP of Community of Junior League of Gainesville, past State Public Affairs chair for Junior League, Leadership Gainesville class 34, Gainesville Modern Chairman, Alachua County Arts Council board member and conference presenter, Board Member of UF Preservation Board of Advocates, former trustee Trinity United Methodist Church, former Member of Gainesville Fine Arts Association, PTA at Terwilliger Elementary, Meadowbrook Elementary, Kanapaha Middle, Buchholz High and P.K. Yonge, and my small business is a Certified Woman-owned business in the state of Florida. Numerous public art commissions in our community, Florida and throughout the Southeast. International public exhibitions, including the National Sculpture Exhibition of Ireland and the US National Sculpture Exhibition in Charleston.
