Profile

Location: Marquette, MI
My Story: Born and raised in Midland, MI, I finally escaped to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to go to Northern Michigan University to study Public Administration and Communication Studies. I am a modern day John Stewart Mill in my belief that education is the great equalizer; therefore, I am incredibly active in NMU's student government and work tiressly to help keep education funding high and tuition afforable by visiting Lansing as much as possible and keeping up to date on things. I love Michigan so much. The vibrant cities, beautiful enviroment and nice people have always fascinated me. So, now that it is in trouble, I found my calling to government. I am excited to be helping out Gov. Richardson; he is, by far, the most qualified candidate in the field. The story is much more complicated than this, but I'm in class (Don't tell my professor ;D ). I'm looking forward to meeting and connecting with tons of new and excited people to help Richardson WIN! :) PS. My picture = Winter Storm in Marquette (Marh 2007)... pretty cool, eh?
