Since my first job in City Hall, I have worked in and had a passion for public service. For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my personal and professional life to serving others and it would be my honor to serve as your newest City Council Member.

My husband and I decided to purchase our first home in College Place. The greatest strength of our City is the sense of community. Neighbors genuinely care about each other, and I want to provide more opportunities for neighbors to get to know each other. This can be accomplished through an additional focus on outdoor recreation opportunities and active community engagement. It is imperative that we engage youth by partnering with nonprofits to offer after-school recreational activities. I have noticed that students who are connected with the community tend to succeed.

I will help our community grow by providing opportunities for businesses to thrive through support programs and further development of the College Avenue corridor. Working on the Utilities and Transportation Advisory Commission gave me specific insight into the looming traffic and storm water issues.

If elected, I will serve with integrity and as a voice for underrepresented communities in College Place.
