My Community Reach

I collaborate with nonprofits, agencies, and jurisdictions across York County and South Carolina to help Tega Cay and its community members. 

  • I am on leadership teams of coalitions supporting healthy communities across York County including the Bike/Ped Coalition of York County and the York County Mental Health Task Force.

  • I run the Tega Cay Healthy Kids platform, promoting a healthier lifestyle for our community's kids. I organize the TCES Walk & Roll to School Days and Bike & Scooter Safety Rodeo in partnership with the school, TCPD, and TCFD.

  • I serve with the Tega Cay Lions Club, Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation, Tega Cay Parks & Rec, Fort Mill School District, and SC Women in Leadership. 

  • As chair of the Bike/Ped Coalition of York County, I attend Rock Hill-Fort Mill-Area Transportation Study (RFATS metropolitan planning organization) policy committee meetings, where our region's most important transportation decisions are made. I organized, executed and presented the FMHS Walkability study to support safer walking and rolling to school.
