Biography
I received my Master of Business Administration from the University of Wyoming. I work for Black Cat LLC, a local commercial steel company, as the Administrative Services Manager. While I have been with Black Cat LLC, we have won Small Business of the Year, CyberWyoming's Small Business Cyber Contest, been nominated for a community service award, and are currently nominees for the Best of the Best. I have been recognized as a Woman in Construction Honoree and spoke to several construction groups about cyber security. I am actively involved in the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce, local committees, military committees, and local boards. I am a graduate of Leadership Cheyenne and Leadership Wyoming. I am an avid fighter for local business, community, cyber security, trade industries, local voices, families, local workforce, military, and law enforcement.

Why I am Running
I am running to make sure all Wyoming voices are heard. The Cheyenne and Wyoming community are my heart and soul; I want to protect and preserve them for as many future generations as possible. I want to make sure local businesses and the community are supported on all levels and work toward retaining our youth while supporting our seniors and everyone in-between. I come from a construction background and want to be a bridge to the government from the boots on the ground, which includes military, first responders, and veterans. I will fight for my district, Cheyenne, and Wyoming.
Top 3 Priorities
– Bringing trades and local businesses into schools to help provide the youth of Wyoming more opportunities
– Supporting the community members, Wyoming citizens, and Wyoming families; taxes, property rights, education, and healthcare
– Support of our military, first responders, veterans, and their families
