Built to lose.
I've been training to lose this Senate race for all of my life.
I voted for Al Gore in 2000, cheered for Carolina basketball during the Matt Doherty era, and watch the Carolina Panthers on Sundays (shudder).
​
It's the thrill of a lifetime to give voters in District 37 the opportunity to choose their next representative. I'm going to lose, but we'll have some fun, make some noise, and raise some hell on the way down.
​
My platform
-
Abortion is healthcare.
-
We must fully fund public education.
-
We need common sense gun laws to keep our communities safe.​
And all of those would be achievable in our purple state if we had a representative democracy instead of this gerrymandered nonsense.
When I'm not losing

Entrepreneurship
Prior to my work at UM, I was Founder and CEO of pip & grow, a baby box company. During our seven years in business, we received national awards (including SCORE small business of the year), were featured in Forbes and MSN, and I was named to the inaugural Forbes Next 1000 list. I left the company in September 2021 in the hope of finding better work-life balance. (Spoiler: I was not successful because work-life balance is a myth)
