My Story
I was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and spent my earliest years in a small town further south. Some of my youngest years were spent living with my grandparents while my mother raised me as a single parent. My grandfather was a butcher, my grandmother worked in a factory, and my mom became the first college graduate in our family. From them, I learned that hard work matters, faith matters, and upward mobility is still possible in America.
Those lessons have guided my entire life.
I moved to North Carolina for college and earned a degree in International Relations with a minor in Criminal Justice. After graduating, I moved to Washington, D.C., to pursue an internship in the U.S. Senate. Like many Millennials entering adulthood during the 2008 financial crisis, I worked whatever jobs I could to stay afloat—selling my car and scraping by. Those years taught me resilience and showed me firsthand how policy decisions affect real people.
I later earned a Master’s in Political Management and worked in the U.S. Department of Transportation, gaining experience inside the federal government during a pivotal time for our country. Being one of the few Republican women in my program challenged me to stand firm in my values while listening thoughtfully to opposing views—an experience that shaped how I lead.
After graduate school, my husband David and I chose to return to the South to raise our family. In 2015, we moved to Cobb County to be near family and put down roots. We now have three children. Since 2016, I’ve managed a small business and worked as an independent contractor—balancing work, family, and rising costs just like so many Georgia families.
I’m running for Congress because Washington has lost touch with everyday life. Families are struggling with affordability, safety, and uncertainty, while Congress too often focuses on politics instead of solutions. I’ve seen government from the inside—and I’ve lived the realities outside of it.
I believe leadership should be grounded in accountability, common sense, and service. In Congress, I will fight to restore the rule of law, support families and small businesses, protect life, and represent Georgia with integrity and clarity.
This campaign isn’t about ambition—it’s about responsibility. I’m running to serve, to listen, and to deliver results for the people who call Georgia home.
