Elected to the Town Council in my hometown of Munster, Indiana, USA, in 2019 - First Democrat in 20 years. 

On Coaching: I believe that coaching can, does, and will change the world. I believe that policy matters. I am committed to bringing coaching to government as a way to increase the humanity, empathy, insight, and foresight of policy. 

My Mission: To increase our collective consciousness so that social and racial justice in America becomes the obvious and irresistible choice. 

On Race: BlackLivesMatter. It’s a fact. #StopAsianHate. It’s a must. I was raised (aka “groomed”) in a white-centered world. After finally waking up when Botham Jean, who worked where I work, was murdered in his apartment Dallas in September 2018, I am now firmly committed to becoming less racist every day. I am actively “veering away” from the white-centered way of life, and I looking to collaborate with others who aim to make the status quo obsolete. 

“I’m complete.”
