I'm running for Ohio's 3rd Congressional District because central Ohio deserves a representative who has actually built something, fought for something, and lived the consequences of systems that fail ordinary people — not someone who has spent their career inside the political machine looking out.
I am a small business owner with over 20 years in fabrication, 3D printing, laser cutting, and creative manufacturing. My work has been featured on the Today Show, the Tonight Show, Buzzfeed, and Better Homes & Gardens. I built it from the ground up in Dublin, Ohio — without venture capital, without connections, and without a safety net.
I am autistic, diagnosed as an adult. I understand firsthand what it means to navigate institutions that were never designed with you in mind — and I will fight to change them from the inside.
I am not a career politician. I have never collected a government salary or traded on political connections. What I have done is spend two decades making things, solving problems, and refusing to accept that broken systems are permanent fixtures.
Ohio's 3rd deserves a representative with fresh eyes, real experience, and a platform built from the ground up — not inherited from a party machine.My platform:
⚖️ Judicial Reform & Court Accountability
🏠 Abolish HOA Overreach
🤝 Immigration Court Expansion
🚫 Abolish ICE
🧠 Autism & Neurodivergent Support
👩⚕️ Women's Health — PCOS, Menopause, Medical Misogyny
🔓 Felony Expungement for Non-Violent Offenses
🖨️ 3D Printing & Creative Protections
💼 Small Business Investment
🔬 STEM Support & Women in STEM
⏱️ Term Limits for Federal Judges
🔒 End the FISA Court
📂 FOIA OverhaulI am not running because politics is my career. I am running because I have spent twenty years watching what happens when the people making decisions have never had to live with the consequences of them.I have watched small business owners get crushed by regulations written for corporations. I have watched neurodivergent women go undiagnosed for decades because the system was built around someone else's normal. I have watched HOAs weaponize debt against homeowners who thought they owned their property. I have watched creative makers get told their tools are a threat. I have watched immigrants navigate a legal system so backlogged it makes a mockery of the word legal. I have watched people serve time for non-existent issues that follow them forever while the institutions that failed them face no consequences at all.I have not just watched. I have lived it. And I have fought back — with documentation, with persistence, and with the kind of refusal to accept a losing outcome that only comes from having no other option.
That is what I am bringing to Washington.Not a carefully managed political brand. Not a consultant-approved message. Not a career built on knowing the right people and saying the right things at the right fundraisers.What I am bringing is twenty years of building things that work, fighting systems that don't, and showing up with the receipts to prove it.Ohio's 3rd Congressional District is one of the most important districts in this state. Columbus is growing. The stakes are real. The issues facing working families, small business owners, neurodivergent Ohioans, women navigating a healthcare system that still doesn't take them seriously, immigrants trying to do things the right way, makers and creators who just want to be left alone to build — these are not abstract policy debates. These are people's lives.They deserve a representative who knows that. Not because she read about it. Because she lived it.
I am that candidate.I am running to win. I am running to serve. And I am running because Ohio's 3rd has waited long enough for someone who will show up — not just on election day, but every single day after it — with the courage, the knowledge, and the refusal to quit that this moment requires.If you believe that experience matters more than connections, that accountability matters more than incumbency, and that the people of central Ohio deserve a representative who will fight for them the way she has fought for herself — then this is your campaign too.Let's get to work.
