“When I moved to Fishers, it was heralded among the top places to live in the USA, so deciding to establish roots here was an easy decision,” Ditlevson said. “Great schools, safe neighborhoods, low property taxes, family-centered amenities, and Hoosier hospitality won me over. My specific needs included two things: access to great schools and living in a safe community where I wouldn’t have to worry about my daughter leaving her bicycle outside or inadvertently leaving my garage door open overnight.”
Currently, Ditlevson serves on boards at various levels, including her church, the Fishers Armed Forces Commission, the Hamilton East Public Library Board, Catholic Charities of Indianapolis, and the Indiana USO board while running a real estate business and co-chairing the Fishers GOP Club. She was a founding member of Fishers One and remains an active member. She earned her MBA from Indiana Wesleyan, and most recently completed the Indiana GOP Diversity Leadership Series, the Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series, and is currently enrolled in the Indiana Leadership Forum.
Ditlevson recently completed the Fishers Government Academy and the Fishers Citizens Fire Academy. “I loved the opportunity to learn about how our vibrant city works,” she said.
When asked why she wants to run for city council, Ditlevson said, “I’m able to freely and completely serve my community in a larger capacity. As your city councilwoman, please know I am passionate about three main things in the City of Fishers: safety, prosperity, and building community. I will work to fully fund our first responders; improve traffic safety – our roads, intersections, and visibility; build business partnerships to benefit young members of the workforce, and grow our community amenities to ensure Fishers remains a vibrant place to live and call home.”
On top of her service to the Fishers community, Ditlevson is a United States Air Force Veteran and earned her commission at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. After the 9/11 attacks, she was stationed at Masirah Air Base, Oman. As the Services Commander in “tent city,” she led 72 military and 53 foreign employees in the implementation and execution of a $12 million support structure for 10,000 combat soldiers fighting the war on terrorism.
