In my former career, I was a chef and owned a food truck business that focused on nearly entirely farm-to-table local ingredients. I collaborated with 30 farms in the area to create dinners that benefitted local non-profits and worked to promote each local farmer in multiple venues. Long before that, I worked for one of those farms, promoting sustainable farm production practices and regenerative agriculture.
Although it may not seem relevant now, I also lived in South Korea for two years, and also on the east coast where I attended graduate school for my MA in English Literature. My husband and I moved back to Wisconsin at one point as well, near my hometown.
All in all, I have a wide-ranging and varied professional background. My varied experience allows me to really understand a lot of different viewpoints and also approach problems objectively. I am only 39 but have lived a few different lifetimes in my short tenure on this earth. I look forward to bringing that experience to work as a member of the Sumner City Council.- Sumner City Councilmembers must be able to address many city issues simultaneously. On these issues, Councilmembers must also be able to receive feedback, understand residents' concerns, and, respond with solutions. I have owned my own business, lived in a foreign country, and am now an attorney. As an eviction defense attorney, I must balance the needs of my clients, the requirements of the law, and the challenges a lack of affordable housing create. I am prepared to juggle multiple issues and concerns that naturally arise as part of the city council service because I have been doing it for my entire professional life.
- An integral part of human nature is to compete. However, I look to become a councilmember for the City of Sumner specifically for the purpose of solving problems through collaboration and not competition.
- Sumner is a fast-growing area with development constantly in progress. A key aspect of furthering development includes preserving what amazing growth has already brought but also working to address the issues that need to be solved. One of the most beautiful parts of Sumner is the landscape, but lately, the landscape has changed. I support working to preserve more old growth flora at the same time as we develop our city for the future.
