Why I'm Serving:
“As a faith leader and young leader in the public health care sector in the St. Louis region, I have both personal and professional experience in developing strategies to transform systems to be more responsive and equitable for the people who our public systems were designed to serve. I have over 15 years of experience in strategic planning that values the inclusion of a variety of voices into planning and implementation efforts. Bottom line, it’s time to address the systemic inequities in our municipalities, in our region and in our great state. I want to support the Governor’s effort and join with other leaders in developing workable and sustainable solutions to begin the healing process that is so desperately needed in these very trying times.”
