For over twenty years, Georgia has been my home. Serving my fellow citizens and upholding our principles has been my top priority. Following a distinguished tenure on the Norcross City Council, I am ready to represent you as your next State Representative for District 96!

 

As an IT Cybersecurity Professional, I have gained extensive cross-industry business experience in global investment banking, institutional brokerage, public accounting, multi-national financial services, international media/entertainment, and healthcare.

My education spans several disciplines: Marketing and Sales, Management and Computer Information Systems, and Project Management. The capstone of my academic journey, a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership, focused on Emotional Intelligence and
Leader Effectiveness. My research entitled "The Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Style and Leader Effectiveness: A
Quantitative Correlation Study" was published in May 2018 and has since been cited—eight times by future doctoral students.

 

I'm enrolled in a Juris Master's Program in Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Technology Risk Management at Florida State University School of Law.

 

In closing, as I step forward to represent the diverse voices and needs of District 96, we will work tirelessly to address the issues
facing our district, from healthcare access to education equity and economic revitalization.

 

Let us join hands and continue shaping a brighter future for our families, neighborhoods, and our beloved state of Georgia.

 

Thank you for your unwavering support, I will be honored to serve as your next Georgia State Representative for District 96!
