My family and I have lived in Draper for 12 years. As a young adult, I studied political science and music at BYU. After a church mission to Germany, I moved to Washington, DC, where I worked as a legislative aide in the US Senate. I specialized in a number of issue areas including transportation, technology and housing. I worked directly with the state and cities, including Draper, on funding for transportation priorities. After 12 years of experience, I transitioned to being a full-time parent, dedicating my time to raising my 4 children while continuing to serve our community.

Currently, I am President of a local PTA Board of Directors and sit on the Draper Park Middle School Community Council. I believe in collaboration and problem solving to achieve sound policy. I follow local, state and national politics and have served as a Republican State and County delegate as well as in my neighborhood precinct leadership. I am a passionate advocate for fiscal responsibility at all levels of government and I support efforts in our city to maintain a high level of service while keeping our tax rates low. I have advocated (in person and in Guest Opinion articles in the Deseret News) for transparency and accountability from our government officials and I will bring my commitment to good governance to this role in the Draper City Council.

I love to be outside exploring our beautiful city and state and especially enjoy hiking and running. Other hobbies include budgeting, enjoying all types of music, traveling and playing bingo with my family on Sunday nights.
