About Amy
Lake Forest is home for my family, and it is the place I care most about serving. It is where I am raising my son, staying involved, and doing my best to be part of the community, not just live in it.
As a mom, homeowner, and volunteer, I understand the everyday concerns families carry. I also bring more than 20 years of professional experience helping organizations solve problems, communicate clearly, and work through complex issues.
Why I’m Running
I’m running for City Council because local government has a direct impact on our everyday lives — from public safety and road repairs to parks, local businesses, traffic, and long-term planning.
And the more neighbors I talk with, the more I’m reminded that the basics really matter.
People care about the street that needs to be repaved. The traffic they deal with every morning. The trees and landscaping that shape the character of their neighborhood. Whether their kids can safely bike to school or the park. The empty storefront where they’d love to see a new restaurant or local business.
These may not always be the issues that make headlines, but they are exactly the kinds of things city government should pay attention to.
I bring more than 20 years of experience helping public agencies and organizations communicate clearly, navigate difficult situations, and solve problems. I’ve also spent years volunteering in our schools and community, and I completed the City’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training.
Most importantly, I live here. I’m raising my family here. I want Lake Forest to remain a safe, welcoming, well-run city where people feel connected to their neighborhoods and confident that their local government is listening.
I’m not running because I think I have all the answers. I’m running because I know how to listen, ask good questions, bring people together, and follow through.
That’s how I’ll serve on the City Council.
I’m grateful to have the support of leaders and organizations who believe in practical, responsive local government.
