Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

First, I have a Masters of Fine Art and understand visual communications that can enhance the virtually non-existent marketing strategies of North College Hill. Second, I have also created a local mural project and art gallery, which have added culture and nightlife to NCH, as well as visual appeal to potential business owners. Third, I am currently attending Chase School of Law and gaining knowledge in Property, Constitutional, and Criminal Law that can be beneficial to NCH. Finally, I have a diverse background that will make me a flexible leader of North College Hill.

2. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the City?

I believe that the citizens and business owners of North College Hill should have their health, safety, and investments protected. Therefore, the police, code, and fire departments, as well as economic development efforts should be of the highest priority of a city's administration.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

Instead of continuing the current policy of borrowing money and paying more for city expenditures due to bond interests, I will find more innovative ways to raise and save funding to pay for expenses. In addition, I will investigate supporting staff and other expenses to determine what tough decisions should be made in order to save the taxpayers' money.
