I am originally from St. Thomas, Missouri, having lived next door to my grandparents' small cattle farm and helped them with chores as I grew up. I came to Kirksville, Missouri, for my undergraduate degree in 2007 and have been here ever since. I currently work in research project management at A.T. Still University and have a Master's Degree in Public Health.
I was raised Catholic, and that has influenced many of my core beliefs. I have worked a wide range of jobs as I've grown, from starting on a relative's dairy farm to fast food, small engine rental and maintenance, local gas stations, rental apartment maintenance, phone survey interviewing, hospital admissions, and now managing and conducting research at a private university. I've learned a lot during that journey. I believe that everyone has a reason behind their beliefs, their own life story that influences them, and that's what makes us all unique. It's also what makes communities stronger, like what we have here in Northern Missouri.
My promise to you, if elected as representative, is to REPRESENT YOU. I may have my beliefs, but I have no right to force those beliefs onto an entire constituency, even if elected. My role will be to represent EVERY VOTER in District 3 that resides in Adair, Putnam, Sullivan, and Mercer Counties. It is the voters' decision on how I will vote and support legislation, not mine.
To achieve this, I promise to be in close communication with my constituents and receive regular feedback on their stances and opinions related to current legislation. I will vote accordingly with the feedback I receive. It should not be on you to reach out to me as a legislator, but for me as your representative to reach out to you on how you want to be represented. We all deserve to be heard, to be represented. And at the end of the day, WE ARE ALL MISSOURIANS.
