As a 25 year resident of Marysville I am committed to seeing my city and community flourish. I am listening to the residents of Marysville and look forward to working on the concerns communicated to me.
- I have served as a Family Service Counselor, Home Care Nurses Aide, Foster Mom, Educator, Communicator, and Retail Clerk. Having worked alongside medics, law enforcement, and First Responders within my professional capacity I have developed a deep respect and honor our First Responders. I feel it is vital to maintain funding for our Civic leaders in these positions.
