Past Experience
I have been on Council since January 2025 to fill a vacant seat and have been a resident of Macedonia since 2017. Before my current position on Council, I served on the Board of Zoning Appeals as vice chair for four years. I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering as well as an MBA from The University of Akron, equipping me with a foundation in both technical and business disciplines.
Currently, I work as a product line manager for a manufacturing company, where I manage product portfolio health and strategy. Beyond my professional career, I am actively involved with a nonprofit organization, the Greater Cleveland Film Commission, serving as associate board chair.
My Top Issues
Invest in local public education
Education is one of the most critical pieces of a community’s success. It not only impacts property value, but the future voice of our community.
Properly fund emergency services
Macedonia is known for being very responsive, being a good neighbor to other communities, and saving lives. I want to make sure we keep it that way.
Attracting and retaining businesses
Our community has so much great economic activity, and I want to encourage more of it for better prosperity for all of our residents.
