Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My first foray into community involvement was in college when I took a few political science classes and learned about the election process and the importance of local government. From there I become slowly more active in serving my community and eventually helped Mormon Women for Ethical Government at its creation point. There I improved my ability to cooperate and accomplish incredible things in a nonpartisan environment. I working with the Women's State Legislative Council for two years as Co-Chair for National Issues. More recently I was appointed by Mayor Fullmer to Vineyard's Planning Commission as an alternate. I LOVE seeing what's going on and making sure that we are sticking to the general plan for Vineyard.

As a City Council member I plan to honor our community's heritage as we look forward to growth, to ensure that our immediate needs as a young population are being met while creating areas of interest for teens and young adults, and making sure our city is interesting and attractive to all who visit.

I look forward to continued service to this community and helping our city become a place where we always love to live. Not only does Vineyard have a wonderful heritage that I am proud to continue building on, but also rich promise ready to be fulfilled.

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?

• Parking in the North of Vineyard is a huge issue. I plan to work with developers and business owners to allow for resident and business parking in the nearby business parking lots.
• Our community is young, but soon to have an adolescent and young adult boom. The parks that we create need to accommodate for their needs.
• The City of Vineyard put forth a beautiful visions. I plan to be a Councilmember who can have a working relationship with the developers to ensure that our city center becomes everything we have hoped and planned for.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Maintaining a city that is walkable and bike-able, beautiful and well-maintained green spaces, and a versatile, interesting City Center. It's going to be amazing and accessible - so let's get those roads in and the train station put in ASAP!

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Not only do I have years of experience working with legislators in the State of Utah, I am also a certified in facilitation. I believe this will add to my success in working with developers as we build out our downtown and give further efficiency in our meetings.
