As a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analyst and certified professional, I work closely with municipalities, utilities, counties, and state agencies across the United States. Combined with my experience as a leader and member of the Murphy Community Development Board (MCDC/4B), I bring valuable expertise and insight to City activities.

 

Born in Okinawa, Japan to American parents, I have lived and traveled overseas (Panama and Poland) and across the United States - trekking my way through Virginia, Nebraska, Missouri, California, Georgia, and finally, Texas.

 

And yet, with all that travel, I've never felt so closely tied to a city as I do here in Murphy; it's where I've chosen to purchase my first home and settle down with Ryan. We have loved getting to know our neighbors and participating in City events, and are often found outside working in our yard or making improvements on our house. If you swing through the Timbers neighborhood, you'll probably see me out biking with our two dogs, Honey Bear and Busy Bee. Feel free to stop and say hi!

 

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to seek re-election for Murphy City Council, and look forward to continuing the great work that we've started.
