What is your vision for Knoxville 10 years from now?

"Forward." - Many areas of our country are in depressed economies, and Knoxville has the luck to be growing. More jobs, more housing, more options. I hope that our city will fully embrace the newer residents, and we continue to grow in a sustainable fashion.

What is Knoxville's Best Kept Secret?

Burger Boys on Broadway. Some of the best value, best flavor food in the entire state--and its 100% locally owned.

What would you do to strengthen Knoxville?

People who own their home stay plugged into their community, economy, and politics. Its factually proven. I am on a personal mission to create higher ownership rates in the Spanish speaking community, Black community, and LGBTQ community, here in Knoxville.

What is your favorite Knoxville memory?

What is your favorite book or what book is currently on your nightstand?

"Ultimate Speed Secrets: The Complete Guide to High-Performance and Race Driving" by Ross Bentley

What is the best advice you have received from a mentor, and who was that mentor?

"Sometimes, you have to 'plaque them and whack them'." - Julie Blaylock. Less casually, part of leadership is knowing when to part ways, but still extending grace for the work that has been completed.

What advice would you give to your 16 year old self?

You have plenty of time to "be an adult" because adulthood is the 77% of your life. Slow down and enjoy the youth you'll never have again. Oh, and join more clubs, make more friends, and carry those friendships forward with you.
