I am a registered nurse at Corewell Health and have been a pediatric RN for 26 years, including 22 years at Children’s Hospital of Michigan and the past 5 years at Corewell Health’s outpatient pediatric clinic in Dearborn. Throughout my career, I have been a strong advocate for nurses, patients, and families, and I have never been afraid to speak up when something doesn’t seem right.

​

I became involved with our union because I believe nurses deserve a voice in the decisions that affect our jobs, our working conditions, and ultimately the care we provide. I quickly learned that having a union isn't just about what happens at the bargaining table. A strong union depends on members who are informed, involved, willing to ask questions, and willing to stand up for one another.

​

I have had the privilege of serving as a Union Steward and as a member of the Bargaining Committee that helped negotiate our first collective bargaining agreement. Those experiences have taught me a tremendous amount about representation and our union, while reinforcing how important transparency, communication, accountability, and member involvement will be as we build Local 2024.

​

I am running for Trustee because I believe our members deserve elected leaders who will ask questions, pay attention to the details, listen to members, and make sure decisions are made with the membership in mind. I believe in working with others to find solutions, but I am also willing to ask difficult questions when something doesn’t make sense.

​

As Trustee, I will take seriously the responsibility of reviewing our Local’s finances and helping ensure that our members’ dues are properly accounted for, handled responsibly, and protected.

​

This is our first contract, our first elected leadership, and our opportunity to help shape what Local 2024 becomes. I want us to build a Local where members are informed, involved, and confident in the people they elect to represent them.

​

I’ve spent my career advocating for others. I’m ready to bring that same persistence, attention to detail, and willingness to speak up to serving the members of Local 2024.

​

I don’t simply want to hold a position—I want to help build a Local that members trust, understand, and feel belongs to them.
