Indiana Public Service Experience:
Maureen brings four years of Indiana government experience, where she worked at the Statehouse for the Indiana House of Representatives. This public service allowed her to gain a realistic knowledge and understanding of how our Indiana legislature works, and develop professional resources, on both sides of the aisle, with many colleagues who still work there today.
She helped develop a groundbreaking system in the Indiana legislature that increased transparency and allowed easier and more accessible communication between constituents and their elected officials.
Given the current imbalance of our state legislature, negotiation ability, delivery and professional experience are necessary to getting the job done on behalf of the citizens of South Bend.

Service, not self:
Maureen's interest in how Indiana government works started at a young age when she was first introduced to our state government serving as a House and Senate Page.
As a delegate at Hoosier Girls State for the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Indiana, she learned about the spirit of civilian service and patriotism as a young leader.
Maureen knows our community is an attractive place to live, work, raise a family and retire. That is why she has invested in the area by starting her own small business. She has worked in vineyards and cellars in the Lake Michigan area, including the only vineyard in South Bend. This hands on knowledge has prepared her for a career as a small business owners, where she works with grape growers and winemakers who sustainably grow grapes for winemaking in the cool climate growing region of the Midwest.
