Covington is where I chose to plant my roots after finishing my B.A. in Political Science — and where I'm keeping track of what comes next.

This is part personal blog, part notebook, and part record of the city I now call home. I write about what I'm learning through the Mayor's Academy, what I hear at public meetings, what deserves more attention, what's working, and what I think we can do better.

I want to remember things as they happened — what bothered me, what gave me hope, what raised questions, and what made me think something needed to be brought closer to the front.

Sometimes that means highlighting good work. Sometimes it means asking uncomfortable questions or calling out systems that aren't doing enough for the people they're supposed to serve.

I'm still learning, and when I get something wrong, I'll correct it openly.

This notebook isn't the whole plan. One day, I want to serve at the highest levels of government. I joke about becoming Speaker of the House, but the ambition is real.

Everybody starts somewhere.

I'm starting here — in Covington, listening, learning, speaking up, and keeping a record of the road from here to there.

Remember the name.
