Priorities

Over my 23 years in McDonough, I have had the privilege of witnessing the remarkable growth of our community. However, the challenges posed by traffic congestion highlight the need for further development in our infrastructure. I am committed to working with Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to secure the necessary funding for essential road improvement initiatives. 

As a first-generation student and a mother, I value the importance of providing a high-quality education. Our educators and students deserve funding and access to resources to help them be successful. This includes ensuring that our educators receive livable compensation. I fully support free breakfast and lunch for our students which will support them in various ways, including their academic performance. Additionally, prioritizing mental health in our schools is important for enhancing the safety and academic achievement of our children and for breaking the school-to-prison pipeline.

My personal journey as a survivor of domestic violence, combined with my academic and professional background in the Criminal Justice System, drives my dedication to enhancing protections for crime victims, particularly those who are most vulnerable, and to ensuring their voices are heard. 

Access to affordable and quality healthcare services, prescription medications, and mental health support is essential to improve the quality of life, and for some, it is the difference between life or death.
