A lifetime in District 44, ready to serve in the State Senate.

I’ve lived in Oakdale my entire life—27 years—and this community has shaped who I am. I grew up in my mom’s hair salon and at my dad’s family bakery, learning the value of hard work, community, and stretching every dollar as far as it can go. I’ve seen firsthand the importance of opportunity, fairness, and resilience.

I’ve also had the honor of serving our community as an ISD 622 school board member, where I fought for strong schools, equity, and student success. I was elected in a special election with 62.5% of the vote to serve the remaining one-year term. Now, I’m ready to take that experience to the Minnesota State Senate.

If elected, I’ll bring energy, integrity, and a focus on results to tackle the issues that matter most: strong public schools, real climate action, affordability for working families, and ensuring government works for everyday people—not just the powerful.

Together, we can build a Minnesota that works for all of us.
