Why are you seeking a position on the board?
I'm seeking re-election to the Board. I've been involved in the Haverford Township political process since high school. As the youngest Commissioner ever elected in Haverford Township, I have the unique advantage of both youth and experience to move the township forward. I care deeply about this township and I will work hard to keep it a safe, healthy and vibrant one.

What are your qualifications/experience?
I am the current commissioner. In my second year on the Board of Commissioners I was elected Vice President. I have worked with the existing members in a bipartison manner. I am also a local business owner and I know what it takes to have a successful business in Haverford Township.

What are three main issues you plan to take up in the township, and how will you do so?
Business development to increase revenues for the township. Working with the police department, we need to ensure our safety rating as one of the safest townships in the state. Continue to develop community relations with youth groups and Haverford Alliance for Drug Awareness to work with our youth to guarantee a healthy and prosperous future.

Who are elected official or political/community leaders who inspire you?
On a local front, Andy Lewis, former commissioner and County Council member was a great teacher on how to work with all political parties.

What are some other personal information details you want voters to know about you ahead of the election?
As a member of the National Stuttering Association and a stutterer, I have always admired people who did not let this disability stand in their way.

I am DELCO and I am a life long Haverford Township resident who believes this is the greatest community on earth. And, I will work to make it better.
