A little bit about me: I grew up near the sledding hill that overlooks highway 41 at Prairie Hill Park. I’m 34 years old. I graduated from Fox Valley Lutheran High School in 2010. I had a blast playing golf in high school and had the opportunity to play division 1 golf in college at UW-Green Bay. I studied Design Art and business and graduated in 2014. I worked at Titletown Brewery for a couple years, where I learned about restaurant hospitality from the very best!
I moved to Hortonville in 2016 when an entrepreneurial opportunity came into view. My business partner and I moved to the village of 3300 people to renovate a turn of the century bank building. The intensive remodeling process took exactly one year to complete and transform the jobsite into our charming cafe. Nine years later, we continue to co-own and operate Alley Cat Coffeehouse.
I have been passionate about local government and letting constituents know about candidates on the ballot since 2022. I served on Hortonville's Village Board from 2023-2025. I learned a great deal in that setting, especially how to always speak up, even when it wasn’t what the room wanted to hear. To stick to my convictions and be the voice of my neighbors, whether it was residents facing Special Assessments or small business owners receiving questionable directives from the Village.
It is my fifth year knocking on neighbor’s doors to get the vote out for candidates I am excited about. This year I want to see what we can build together and accomplish as I run for Assembly. It is energizing to take action and invest in the future of District 56, together!

Your neighbor, your voice
