My grandfathers, father, stepdad, sister and many uncles, aunts and cousins do or did work in the UAW plants throughout mid-Michigan.
Like many of my classmates at Vassar High School, I worked at the Bavarian Inn. Yes, I wore the leather shorts, but no, I can't still fit into them.
I received my dual-bachelors degree in International Relations and Broadcast Journalism at Syracuse University. While in school, I interned for CNN at the United Nations and in the London bureau.
After graduation, I worked as a producer/writer and on-air youth correspondent for CNN in Atlanta.
Following my time at CNN, I worked in local tv news in Tennessee and eventually moved into Public Relations where I worked on communications plans for large national aviation, tourism and chemical companies.
I served as the spokesperson for the largest Energy Company in Dallas/Fort Worth. This opportunity helped me gain an extensive understanding of energy generation and distribution options including nuclear, coal, natural gas and wind energy.
I then helped launch and served as a vice president of two television start-up networks, one based in Los Angeles and one in Tulsa.
When the economy crashed last summer, I like millions of Americans was laid off.
The last six months has been trying. I have lived through the fear of home foreclosure. I understand living pay check to pay check (often not making it). I can relate to good people barely paying their bills with unemployment.
Recently, I launched my own small communications consulting business to pay my bills during the campaign.
I am not rich and don't have the desire to be.
I am running for Michigan's 5th Congressional District seat to help instill hope, entice companies to create new jobs and solve the home foreclosure problem.
I need your help to secure our future.
