I also focus on solutions and long-term planning. Westlake is still a young city, so many of the decisions we make today will shape the community for decades to come. I approach my role with that in mind and work to ensure we are building a strong foundation for the future.
3) Is there anything you’re working on behind the scenes for Westlake?
Much of the work that helps move a city forward happens outside the council chamber. I stay engaged with regional and statewide organizations that advocate for cities to ensure Westlake has a voice in conversations that impact funding, infrastructure, and local decision-making.
I also spend time working with city staff, regional partners, and neighboring municipalities to stay ahead of issues that affect growing communities like ours. That collaboration helps bring new opportunities and resources to Westlake while ensuring we are planning responsibly as the city continues to grow.
4) What is Westlake’s biggest hurdle to conquer right now? If you have a solution, what is it?
One example of how we’re addressing this is our work on developing Westlake’s first major park. Projects like this provide spaces for families to gather, recreate, and build community, while also ensuring that growth doesn’t come at the expense of residents’ quality of life. By planning thoughtfully, budgeting responsibly, and partnering with developers and regional organizations, we can continue to guide Westlake’s growth in a sustainable and community-focused way.
