Age: 30
Family: Husband, David; daughters Adrienne (age 11) and Alexis (age 6)
Occupation: Director of Children’s Ministry and Secretary for Southaven First United Methodist Church I have a desire to serve my community and work to improve the quality of life of all its residents. I feel strongly that each of us should do all that we can to make the world a better place and I’d like to start with Horn Lake. I think that many of us truly wish to contribute to our community but aren’t sure where to begin.

 

As Ward 1 Alderman, I’d like to bridge that gap by facilitating those who have the desire and motivating those who do not. I ’m an organizer and a problem solver with only the best interest of the citizens at heart. As a member of the Board of Alderman, I will be the voice of Ward 1 and will not take such responsibility lightly.


Issues I will address are: Growth. I believe that growth is always necessary but it must be fiscally and environmentally responsible. We must work to ensure that in our growth we do not "outgrow" the Horn Lake we all initially fell in love with. It is vital that the basic needs of all Horn Lake residents are being met. These needs include not only adequate fire and police protection but also safe walkways for our children to travel to school.


Spending. We must research thoroughly to ensure responsible spending. A plan needs to be put into place to get Horn Lake out of the red and keep it there.


Last but not least, an area that I will wholeheartedly address is the children of Horn Lake. If a village can raise a child, imagine what a city could do. We must protect and provide for our children. Their futures are in our hands. I have a heart for people and a head for business. I’d like to put them both to work for the residents of Horn Lake.
