I am a first-generation Ukrainian-American, a former educator turned advocate-leader–a fighter with a desire to inspire. As a non-profit fundraiser, I engage with the business community to empower people with disabilities. As an elected school and college board trustee, I work to ensure equitable and accessible education. I hope to cultivate cooperation among southeast Michigan’s diverse citizens, fostering a government that governs on behalf of all.
