Why Vote for Me?

A Strong Educational Foundation for Public Service:

‍I earned a B.A. from Ursinus College and a J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law, an educational path that gave me the legal insight and financial acumen essential for effective leadership. As your commissioner, I will put that knowledge to work to make informed, balanced decisions that serve the best interests of our community.
Financial Expertise You Can Trust:
‍
‍With a background as both a lawyer and a financial advisor, I bring the strategic thinking and real-world experience needed to make smart, responsible decisions for our city. I understand how to craft sound fiscal policies, and I am committed to making sure your city government spends your tax dollars wisely, transparently, and in ways that truly benefit Rehoboth.
Experience and Leadership:
‍
I spent my life preparing to tackle tough challenges and I am ready to put that experience to work for Rehoboth. As a member of the U.S. Women's Lacrosse Team and a collegiate coach in lacrosse and basketball, I learned the power of teamwork, perseverance, and leading by example. I know what it means to win and to lose, and the power of resilience in the face of adversity.
‍
That same drive led me to start my own financial advisory firm, where I managed investments for wealthy people and some of the country's largest pension funds. After 15 successful years, I sold the business and returned to the brokerage industry, where I continue to serve clients today.
‍
Leadership, hard work, and accountability are not just talking points. They are values I live every day. I am ready to bring them to City Hall.
Commitment to Serving Our Community:

My dedication to public service is long-standing. I serve on the City of Rehoboth Beach Planning Commission and the Mixed-Use and Stormwater Utility Task Forces. I also sit on the Board of Trustees of Ursinus College, supporting higher education and the development of tomorrow's leaders.

I am ready to get to work as a City of Rehoboth Beach Commissioner and pledge to serve without compensation.
