A graduate of Kalamazoo College, I began my career as a litigation paralegal to the managing partner of a major Michigan law firm with offices throughout the state, and have lived and taught locally as well as internationally. I am committed to bipartisan cooperation, transparency in all levels of government, building bridges with business and community partners and am committed to equal justice under the law. By working together, I believe we can preserve the historic natural qualities that make Long Lake Township the finest community in which to live, stay healthy, raise families, respond to our citizens' needs across the lifespan, meet unexpected challenges, support sustainable businesses, and live peacefully together.
