NEW LEADERSHIP DELIVERING RESULTS FOR MIDDLETOWN

I am a life-long resident of Delaware County and have resided in Middletown Township with my husband Shawn and four children since 2006.  I work in Delaware County as a local attorney representing various individuals, local small businesses and educational institutions.  I have spent much of my professional life volunteering for the good of the community and can frequently be found coaching or attending local youth sporting events on weekends with my family.

​

I served the Middletown Township community in various volunteer capacities for several years before joining Township Council in 2020 to represent my friends and neighbors.  As Vice Chair of Middletown Council, I have been a champion of expanding our open space preservation efforts. I am also a leader in ensuring our township budgets are developed in a fiscally responsible manner. This budgetary discipline has resulted in Middletown having the 6th lowest tax rate in Delaware County and 16 straight years of no tax increases.

  • Vice Chair, Middletown Township Council
