Thank you for the opportunity to serve district 11. I’ve lived in Madison for about 10 years, currently in Hill Farms. I’ve experienced our community through the eyes of an undergraduate student, a young professional working in non-profit, an academic, and a volunteer. During the day, I am a policy analyst and strategic planning consultant with Wisconsin Medicaid. I’ve previously worked on local public health evaluation projects and other health policy issues like development of the workforce in rural areas. I also worked directly with underserved teens in Madison high schools, helping them find and keep their first jobs. On the County Board, I hope to address issues including coordination of social services, building infrastructure for smart growth (including housing and transit), and ensuring that local decisions are informed by local residents. When I’m not at work or engaged in Board activities, you can find me at the Odana dog park with my rescue, Roux.
