Candidate Statement:

District 37 is so gerrymandered that I don't stand a chance. But we deserve to have two names on the ballot.​

If I'm going to lose, we might as well have a little fun, raise a little hell, and shine a light on the impacts of gerrymandering along the way.

Get in losers, we're (not) going to the Senate.

Science
I'm a Senior Behavioral Scientist at the University of Michigan's Center for Academic Innovation. My job is to use technology and behavior change theory to help college students succeed. 
 

Entrepreneurship
Prior to my work at UM, I was Founder and CEO of pip & grow, a baby box company. During our seven years in business, we received national awards (including SCORE small business of the year), were featured in Forbes and MSN, and I was named to the inaugural Forbes Next 1000 list. I left the company in September 2021 in the hope of finding better work-life balance. (Spoiler: I was not successful because work-life balance is a myth)
