I am a mother, wife, and social worker with a passion for helping people. I have worked in the local nonprofit community for the last 8 years. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from Colorado State University and have lived in the beautiful Loveland, CO, for 15 years.
  • I am running for Colorado House District 51 Representative because I care. I have worked, lived, and struggled to get by in this community and I want to help make it better.
  • My personal and professional background showcases my committment to this community. I have personally experienced housing instability, food insecurity, and limited childcare access, among many other issues. I became a Social Worker so I could help others that find themselves faced with any barriers to living their life to it's fullest. I have worked in a local nonprofit for 8 years and have been a volunteer for the Loveland Planning Commission & Larimer County Behavioral Health Commission for 3 years.
  • I want to listen to your concerns and advocate for your needs. I welcome your insight, stories, and ideas.
Housing, Healthcare, Education, Childcare, Behavioral Health, Senior Supports, and more.
Honesty & Integrity are of the utmost importance as an elected official. My constituents need to know that I am being transparent and open regarding my work for them.
The core responsibilities of someone in this office are for them to listen and learn from their constituents and to use that knowledge to help create legislation that provides solutions.
"It's not if, but how they remember you."
I worked for a year at a fast food restaurant.
Being a young, low-income, single mom while balancing college classes, work, and parenting. It was the most challenging and fulfilling time in my life.
Affordable & Attainable Housing is and will continue to be our greatest challenge across the state of Colorado.
Education; Health & Human Services; Transportation, Housing, & Local Government; Business Affairs & Labor; Energy & the Environment
I strongly believe that both financial transparency and government accountability are vital to our democracy.
