I am a lifelong resident of Ocean Springs and recently became incorporated into the city limits during the annexation. My family has made Ocean Springs their home since my grandmother ran the Dairy Maid ice cream parlor in downtown Ocean Springs in the 1940's. I have provided health care to my community as a nurse practitioner for the last seventeen years and worked as a registered nurse for five years prior to that. I am an active member of St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church and have served as team manager for my son's travel soccer team for several years. In my spare time I enjoy gardening, reading, cooking and spending time with my family. I would like to continue caring for my neighbors in the community I love as your Alderman for Ward 6. I wish to offer transparency and maintain the small-town charm of Ocean Springs.
