In 2012 I was walking to work at about 7:00am downtown and was hit by a car who rolled the red stoplight, while I was in the crosswalk. Luckily, I was fine, only shook up. In 2014, a friend of mine from high school was hit in a crosswalk at night at the University, he was killed.

Out of these times of positive population growth comes many challenges, of which we need to make smart decisions that will ensure our neighborhoods, parks, rivers and families are being protected, that we are preserving our heritage, that we are responsible about development and supporting our small businesses.
Our evolving Community
My mother always told me to go out into the world and do well, but more importantly, do good. Since being a little girl, I have made this my mission. I know that I have a duty to my fellow citizens, and I measure the value of my life on the good I can do and influence.
