My story didn’t start with politics

IT STARTED WITH A FIGHT FOR MY LIFE.

Over a decade ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. While going through treatment, I learned about legacy contamination in the drinking water where I grew up, here in Brevard County, including PFAS exposure affecting military families and our community.

THAT MOMENT CHANGED EVERYTHING.

What started as a personal fight turned into something bigger. I began digging deeper, asking questions, and refusing to accept silence when people were being exposed, ignored, or pushed aside.

I REFUSED TO STAY SILENT. 

Since then, I’ve spent years advocating for this community, helping push for the first-ever drinking water standards for PFAS, contributing to federal action and funding, supporting military readiness efforts, and standing up for issues that others wouldn’t touch.

I'VE FOUGHT FOR CLEAN WATER.

For accountability in local government. For our firefighters and public safety. For protecting the Indian River Lagoon. And for the people who felt like no one was listening.

I'm also a mother of two.

EVERYTHING I'VE DONE HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY ONE THING:

making sure my kids, and yours, grow up in a community that is safe, strong, and worth protecting.

I DIDN'T SET OUT TO RUN FOR OFFICE.

But after years of stepping in when leadership fell short, I know we need people in these roles who understand what’s at stake and aren’t afraid to act.

THIS COMMUNITY DESERVES LEADERSHIP THAT SHOWS UP.

This isn’t new for me. It’s just the next step.
