I earned a Master of Science in Nursing from Capella University in 2018. In 2021, I resigned from being a nurse in a large NH hospital to start my own nursing business. I had worked in discharge planning, labor and delivery, inpatient psychiatry and medical/surgical nursing.
I have always loved being outdoors since I was a child. I love physical challenges as varied as backpacking, hiking or running in the mountains, making new gardens, or helping my son build a house.- I will not vote for new taxes. I will vote to decrease taxes and speed up the phaseout of the Interest & Dividends tax.
- I am PRO-LIFE & PRO-GUN because Life is a right granted by God and guaranteed by the NH and US Constitutions. I will defend current NH law that prohibits abortions at 24 weeks with exceptions for the mother's life, physical health or fatal fetal anomalies. I will defend Constitutional Carry in NH.
- I will vote for a PARENTAL RIGHTS bill & a Biological Gender Definition bill because the family is a building block for NH society.
