Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I want to break down the barriers to access that so many of our neighbors face due to systematic policies put in place to create a general lack of knowledge and sense of importance of county government.
• I want to create transparent processes that utilize technology to create accessible public meetings with public comment, video streaming, and transcripts.
• I am a proven professional with years of executive and administrative experience, along with a Masters in Public Administration.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about transparent budget processes, public comment, and accessible governmental information.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

As a lifelong Oklahoman, I will never forget April 19, 1995. I was in the fourth grade and in music class (practicing our recorders) when we learned about the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I grew up on a working ranch, so I know the value of hard work. My first paying job was at our local florist shop. I held this job until graduating high school, learning (at the time) new purchasing software, designing floral arrangements, and working with customers to make sure their shopping experience was spectacular! I can still whip up a beautiful arrangement of cut flowers or make a sharp boutonnière.
