I was elected Chair of the Albany County Democrats in 2018 and continue to serve in that role. I have served as a Precinct Committeewoman since 2018. I was also elected as a delegate for Bernie Sanders in 2020.

I have served and volunteered on a number of community boards and committees, including serving as Secretary of the High Plains Harriers, President of the High Plains Harriers, Secretary of the Young Democrats of Wyoming, Chair of the Albany County Democrats, volunteer coach for She's a Runner Girl, and coach of the Laramie Valley Jackalopes.
