Meet the Candidate
As a proud resident of South Cook County for 20 years, I have actively served our community as a trusted public servant in Elementary School District 159, representing the Villages of Matteson, Tinley Park, and Richton Park for the past 6 years. I have stood firmly for integrity, equity, and respect, fighting for fair pay for teachers and school staff, because supporting our educators means supporting our students.
I stood alongside neighbors at community meetings to oppose unfair property tax hikes in South Cook; always putting people first, not politics. As a member of the Constitution Review Committee, Director-at-large, and a Distinguished School Board Member with the Illinois Association of School Boards, I've represented South Cook Families with open communication, integrity, and inclusion.
​
Now, I’m ready to take that fight to the county level. Cook County deserves a commissioner who listens, includes every voice, and leads with honesty and transparency.
I’ve been doing this work for 6 years, and I’m ready to keep doing it for you.
