She lives in Wyoming with her husband and two children. She is a proud member of JWC. In recent years, she founded the PSA Green Team, which has spearheaded a variety of waste-reduction efforts at Wyoming City Schools. On City Council, Sarah’s priorities include attracting outside funds for city use, accessible spaces, supporting our small business community, environmental and fiscal sustainability, and ensuring our community is a diverse, inclusive place where everyone can thrive.

My family and I moved to Wyoming for the wonderful schools, but we have been so impressed by the commitment that residents feel toward all of our civic institutions. That enthusiasm, combined with my volunteer experience in local government that runs the gamut from Pleasant Ridge Community Council President to the Chair of the City of Cincinnati Planning Commission, made the decision to run for Wyoming City Council really appealing. It seemed like a good opportunity to serve the community that our family has quickly grown to love.

When not working in his profession, he can be found laboring over any one of numerous projects around the city from the construction of a new local restaurant to the maintenance on his own personal project, the 1930s Tudor he and his family share on lower Hillcrest.

April and her family moved to Wyoming in 2013. You can find April around the community volunteering with her kids’ activities and sports, from the Wyoming Seadragons summer swim team to the Wyoming School Music Association and everything else in between. April is also an active member and officer with JWC – Joint Women’s Collaborative.
