Edgecombe County is home. It is where I was raised, where my family has farmed for generations, where Patrick and I raised our children, and where I have spent my career working to create more opportunities for students, families, and communities.

​

I am an educator, grant writer, agricultural advocate, and community leader, but the role that matters most to me is being someone people can count on to listen, show up, and help find a way forward.

​

My work has allowed me to connect students with colleges, careers, employers, and real-world opportunities; support rural families; strengthen partnerships; and bring new resources into our community. I have seen firsthand how much potential exists in Edgecombe County—and how important it is to have leaders who understand our people, ask the right questions, and keep working until progress is made.

​

I am running because I believe in this county, and I believe our best days are still ahead of us.
