Occupation: Kirkland City Councilmember, Small Business Owner, former Tech Product Manager
Statement:

I am an experienced, collaborative leader who listens carefully and delivers results. I have served Kirkland on the City Council, Park Board, Housing Strategy Advisory Committee, and many regional committees. I have passionately preserved and enhanced our parks, small businesses, and the diverse communities which make Kirkland an exceptional city where everyone can thrive.


I expanded housing choices; improved community safety; increased transit; added bike lanes and crosswalk flashing beacons; and implemented sustainability actions. I focused on economic recovery, built new programs helping people in need, and protected natural resources. I chaired Kirkland’s state legislative work group which successfully advocated for mental health investments, housing solutions, and funding for the Kirkland Performance Center and CKC.


I will continue to listen, lead, and deliver. I ask for your vote. Endorsed by all nine Kirkland state legislators; both Kirkland King County councilmembers; King County, 1stLD, 45thLD, 48thLD Democrats; NWPC-WA, and more.

Statement:

I agree - Kirkland is amazing and we're facing challenges from our own unprecedented growth and surrounding areas.  Safety and sustainable planning is key to maintaining the neighborhoods that drew us all here.  With 15+ years working in healthcare, including during a global pandemic, I have shown the skills needed to bring about effective change with limited resources, in a heavily regulated industry.  I listen to those impacted by change and partner for solutions.  I use data driven research and evidence-based solutions to bring for best results.

I'm eager to serve you and our community.  20 years ago, we chose Kirkland to raise a family, our daughters will graduate from Lake Washington HS.  I have a passion for, and commitment to Kirkland.  I'll work to ensure the safest neighborhoods for all, with sustainable urban planning.  I've a proven track record of leadership,change management, and a genuine commitment to serving you.
