Humble Beginnings

Born on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, my family moved to Eastern Bel Air in July 2009. I grew up surrounded by green spaces, open playgrounds, and a strong sense of  community — the very things that continue to draw families to Harford County today.

A Passion Sparked Early

My passion for public service ignited in fifth grade, while participating in Prospect Mill Elementary’s Patriot Program. I learned civic duty, discipline, and the unique honor of being an American. This was the defining moment that my love for American government took root and my drive to share those values with others began.

A Commitment to Education and Community

After graduating from C. Milton Wright High School in 2018, I stayed local and pursued higher education:

Harford Community College — Associate Degree in Political Science, 2022

Towson University – Northeast Campus — Bachelor’s in Business Administration, 2023

Harford Co., My Anchor

Growing up, I was surrounded by the quiet, rural landscape that shaped my early years, always curious about what “city life” might be like. After graduation, I spent a brief period living in Baltimore City, socializing with some great people and enjoying some good food.

While it was a professionally rewarding experience to be appointed Executive Director of the Maryland Black Republican Council, my heart ultimately led me back to Harford County—a place rooted in family, faith, and purpose.

Ready to Serve, Asking for Your Vote

I'm running because it's my time to serve. With deep roots in our community and a heart for public service, I'm ready to bring strong, principled leadership to the table. I've listened, I understand what matters to our families, and I'm committed to delivering results—not rhetoric. I humbly ask for your vote so we can move forward—together.
