Candidate for
Member Council; City of Cheviot; Ward 1

I am a lifelong Cincinnati resident who moved to Cheviot in 2005 because the safe and friendly neighborhood was ideal for raising a family. Living on Bruestle Avenue with my husband, Mike, and three year old son, Aidyn, has been wonderful as have my friendships with the neighbors. As first time homeowners, we have experienced many ups and downs but have rarely been disappointed by the numerous services that Cheviot provides.

The older I become, the more my attention has shifted from individuals to the community as a whole. This can be seen in my volunteer and work choices. While in high school, I volunteered both at a local elementary school and at Mercy Hospital. I led educational programs, trained other presenters, and filled the role of teaching assistant while completing my Bachelors in Psychology at the University of Cincinnati. After college, I worked with the homeless mentally ill and with an impoverished neighborhood looking to remake itself in Price Hill. Having taken some time for family, I am now looking for ways to improve the lives of those around me. More than anything, I would like an opportunity to make Cheviot's City Council more accessible and responsible to you, the citizen.

I am inspired by how much Cheviot has to offer and would like continue my personal mission of assisting and educating others by asking that you elect me as your representative for Ward 1. Thank you for your support.
