Most Memorable City Council Accomplishments: 

What I Love About Westerville: I love the warm feeling I get when people speak to each other as they pass.  I fondly remember how embracing the community was to my family when we moved into the community 17 years ago. I enjoy the close proximity of Westerville to its parks and recreation, shopping, and restaurants. I am encouraged that Westerville is a city that seeks proactive change and progression, and therefore I look forward to serving Westerville in a leadership capacity. Our accomplishments can be infinite when our mindset is Westerville together.
