Why I’m running
A fresh, thoughtful approach
I have a strong desire to promote accountability and enhanced collaboration with the University, local businesses, and City leaders to drive smart growth in the City.
Real solutions for student housing
I want to lead the Council in addressing the student housing crunch. My background and experience in providing financing to municipalities and universities will produce real and creative solutions.
Safer streets and traffic relief
Introduce badly needed strategies to enhance City infrastructure, improve safety, and provide traffic relief for pedestrians and motorists.
Fiscal responsibility
Ensure fiscal responsibility in government to maximize your tax dollars.
Why I’m qualified
This opportunity is important to me! I want to serve the City where my family has such deep history and where I will reside forever.
My professional background in financing governments and universities will bring a unique and complementary voice to the Council.
As a former Clemson student and current City resident, I will bring a balanced perspective to the issues that impact the City.
My pledge to fellow Clemson residents
I am committed to improving transparency and communication so that residents truly feel the City Council is their Council and represents their voice.
