I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m proud to say I’ve called District 13 home my entire life. Growing up in North Omaha, I’ve seen both the challenges and the incredible potential of our community. These experiences are what inspire me every day to work toward positive change for our district and our state. Here’s a little more about me:

Education:

  • Bachelor's in Communications and Marketing, Jackson State University

  • Graduate Studies in Urban Social Planning, University of Texas Arlington

Work:

  • Founder of I Be Black Girl, a nonprofit focused on maternal and child health

  • Experienced nonprofit executive with a focus on economic development and public health

Through my work, I’ve had the privilege of leading efforts that center on improving education, healthcare, and economic justice for our most vulnerable communities. I’m passionate about ensuring every voice is heard and every neighbor has what they need to thrive.
