As a military family, my husband and I chose Wyoming because of its people, values, and quality of life. We didn’t end up here by chance, we chose to make Laramie County our home.
I worked as a dental assistant for more than 30 years, owned a small business, and currently work in retail. Those experiences taught me to listen, solve problems, work as part of a team, and understand the challenges facing working families and local businesses.
I am an independent thinker who believes in asking questions, finding practical solutions, and making decisions based on facts. I believe county government should be transparent, fiscally responsible, and accountable to the people it serves.
I am running for County Commissioner because I want to help ensure Laramie County grows responsibly while protecting the values and quality of life that make Wyoming such a special place to call home.

I am running for Laramie County Commissioner because I believe the people of Laramie County deserve a voice in the decisions that shape our future. I support responsible growth, but growth must be planned, transparent, and accompanied by the infrastructure and services our community needs. I believe in asking questions, listening to residents, protecting taxpayers, and making thoughtful decisions based on facts.
