I am a mother, a daughter, a friend, and your neighbor. For the last 37 years, I have served my community and surrounding areas as a nurse. Now I hope to continue to serve on a larger scale.

I was born and raised in a wonderful rural area of Sampson County, North Carolina. My mother taught school for over thirty years, both on the high school and college level. She instilled in me the love of learning and the knowledge of what is needed for our educational system in order for our students to thrive and succeed.. My grandfather was a farmer and taught us all what it meant to be an integral part of a family-like community. Through him, I saw the struggles that our farmers faced then and continue to face today.

I hope that you will support me as I run for North Carolina State Senator representing District 9.
