Service Beyond the Uniform: A Legacy of Service — Why I Serve Fayetteville

Service isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.

I grew up in a proud military family that taught me the value of duty, faith, and community. Both of my parents served in the U.S. Army, and I followed in their footsteps. It was not just by wearing the uniform, but by carrying forward the responsibility to serve others with courage and compassion.

From my years as a U.S. Army Combat Veteran to my ongoing work in community advocacy, one truth continues to guide me:

The strongest communities are built by people who care enough to show up.

And Fayetteville is a community worth showing up for.

Over the years, I’ve served in many ways, fighting for safer neighborhoods, supporting working families, and protecting those without a voice. My mission has never changed: to make sure no one is left behind and to train the next generation to lead with integrity and purpose.

Why I Serve Fayetteville

When you elect me to City Council, you’re choosing a fighter who will keep showing up with integrity, heart, and action. My journey has been defined by service that turns compassion into results:

✅ Policy Advocacy

I worked to help reauthorize the Lautenberg Amendment and the Violence Against Women Act, strengthening protections for victims of domestic abuse and human trafficking.

✅ Community Support

Through my volunteer work with Connections of Cumberland, I provided case management and resources for homeless women and children, ensuring they had access to shelter, safety, and support.

✅ Disaster Relief

As a FEMA-certified Disaster Operations Manager, I’ve coordinated relief efforts during Hurricanes Florence, Irma, and Matthew, helping families recover and rebuild when their hope was shaken.

A Legacy of Leadership and Love

Every one of these experiences shaped my belief that leadership isn’t about position. It's about purpose.

Fayetteville deserves leaders who don’t just talk about service — but live it, daily.
Together, we can build a city where service is more than a slogan — it’s our shared standard.

Because when we serve one another, we strengthen the legacy we leave behind.
