About April
April's Mission
Putting Holly families and community first ~ always.
My mission is guided by a clear direction: Putting Holly families and community first ~ always. Every decision I make is weighed against what will keep our village strong, safe, and thriving, not just today, but for many years to come.
April's Commitment
Protecting Holly's Future
My commitment to public service stems from a belief that strong leadership begins with listening and delivers real results. As Village President, I’ve worked tirelessly to protect Holly’s future while respecting the trust that taxpayers have placed in me. I stand out by leading with transparency, protecting taxpayer dollars, and prioritizing the people of Holly over politics.
April's Story
Counseling and Compassion Shaping Leadership
Outside of public service, I am a counselor, supporting veterans, Gold Star families, and community members as they navigate life’s challenges. Since 2018, I have run a counseling practice specializing in veterans’ issues, anxiety, and trauma recovery. This work keeps me grounded and reminds me daily why listening, compassion, and resilience matter. My counseling background has also shaped how I lead: I believe in listening first, creating safe spaces for honest conversation, and helping people find solutions that keep our community strong.
April's Vision For Holly
Preserving the village’s charm while making meaningful progress
My vision for Holly is rooted in protecting what makes our village special while preparing for the future through clear direction and responsible leadership. I believe Holly can grow stronger without losing the character and community spirit that define us.
April's Values
Leading With Respect
Holly is home to people with many different traditions and perspectives. We may see the world through different perspectives, but the values that guide me are grounded in the same hopes that unite our community: safety, fairness, and pride in Holly. I believe leadership means listening to all voices, treating every neighbor with dignity and respect, and being open and transparent in the decisions I make. No matter our differences, every choice I make is guided by a clear direction. That direction is to put Holly’s families and community first ~ always.
April's Personal Touch
Being Present
Public service is about more than budgets and policies. It is about people. My personal touch as Village President comes from being present, listening, and treating every resident with respect. That personal connection will always guide how I lead because Holly is not only where I serve. It is my home.
