I am running to be your next State Senator! Prior to serving two terms as State Representative, I proudly served Washtenaw County on the Board of Commissioners for nine years. With over 1200 bills sponsored and cosponsored ranging from expanding mental health care access, protecting the environment, protecting the right to choose, reforming criminal justice, and more, I have proven my ability to be a bipartisan champion for Washtenaw County.
The daughter of parents who would not have been able to be legally married just six years prior, my life has been shaped by a strong commitment to working with others to create a community we all want to live in. As the representative for Michigan’s 33rd state house district, I advocated for our right to affordable mental and physical healthcare, including protecting women’s reproductive freedom, living free from environmental concerns like PFAS and Dioxane, students’ access to quality education, and sustainable small businesses.
I am a practicing clinical psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work, and three decades of experience. I am a mother of two, owner of my own small business, and an enthusiastic sports fan. I live in Pittsfield township with my husband David and our two kids, Alex and Viviann. When we’re not driving to basketball, cheering on our Wolverines or eating at many of our amazing local restaurants, you can find us eating ice cream from our delicious local businesses. David and I are proud to be raising a family in a community that reflects many of the values we want to live by and instill in our children: love, empathy, inclusivity, justice, and care for one another.
