I believe we can all make a difference in our community. That’s why 14 years ago when my husband and I moved here, I joined the neighborhood association and served on the board. During this time, I also ran my own small business and we had our first child. I was so grateful for Oregon’s mail in ballots. Even being home with my newborn son, I was still able to vote.

As time went on, I found other ways to give back. I served on the board for the South Salem MOMS Club and when my oldest was diagnosed with Autism, I learned how to advocate for others with special needs thanks to the training I received from the local organization, Creating Opportunities.

Before I knew it my kids were in school and I became a regular parent volunteer. From grading papers to teaching poetry and math. I loved watching the kids grow each year.

When the pandemic hit, I used the knowledge I had to help others get online and connect to the world.

Now more than ever, I feel it is important that are voices are heard. That’s why I am running because I feel like together we can start getting things done and start moving on from the isolation we experienced during the pandemic. To do this we need to have someone who can advocate for us and I believe I am that person.
  • I have been an active volunteer in our community for over a decade.
  • I have experience running a small business in Salem.
  • I care about our community and want to be a voice for us at Salem City Council.
