Additional Comments
Simply stated – I love Hamilton County! This county offers a wealth of arts, foods, fitness, fellowship, and so much more. Two of my most personal favorites are the trail systems and coffee shops! I am a huge fan of running, cycling, exploring, and spending time with family and friends. The Monon Trail, Midland Trace Trail and Nickel Plate Trail offer me the opportunity to play, network, and explore between multiple HC communities, all while maintaining health and fitness through running, cycling, and walking.

When moving to Indiana and about to start a family, the school system played a large role in our decision to move here, and then buy a house about a year later. Since moving here, the changes and growth we have seen have been impressive and overall encouraging and beneficial.

What attracted you to living/working in Hamilton County?
I grew up in Fishers and found my way back to my hometown in my late 20’s after graduating from Purdue University, spending a few years in Cincinnati, and several years in downtown Carmel. I actually ended up buying my childhood home in Fishers from my parents when they retired! After spending years commuting from Hamilton County to downtown Indianapolis, I landed my dream job at the City of Fishers in 2018. I feel so fortunate to live, work, and play in Hamilton County!
