Why I Care
I grew up here. My kids go to school here. I care deeply about the future of this community—and I believe that starts with strong public schools. I bring experience in public service, a background in policy and planning, and a deep respect for collaboration.
My Experience
I bring over 14 years of experience in public procurement and oversight through my role at Chelan PUD, where I focus on transparency, and accountability. I currently serve on the Wenatchee School Board and am the incoming President of the Music Theatre of Wenatchee Board. I’ve helped lead community-focused nonprofits like Small Miracles, and I’ve produced numerous youth theater programs that center on education, teamwork, and student voice. Whether it’s managing contracts, mentoring kids, or collaborating with community partners, I show up with a commitment to thoughtful leadership and inclusive service.
Thanks for taking the time to learn more. I’m proud to call Wenatchee home—and even prouder to show up for its students.
