I believe that it is our duty to be active participants in our community and to promote healthy communal living. Creating strong, vibrant communities requires us to work together to facilitate our city’s growth and sustainable development.
As a physician, mother, and daughter of immigrant parents, I am publicly engaged with our diverse population and have a unique perspective on the needs of our community. I will advocate for tourism through city events to help our small businesses thrive, whilst maintaining our home-town feel. I will work on obtaining high quality healthcare, resources for our seniors and indoor recreation for our youth, as well as public safety, transportation, affordability, and maintenance of our natural beauty.
I will be your voice and bring your issues back to the City Council to address. Collectively, we will ensure Snoqualmie remains a cohesive, inclusive, safe, and prosperous city. I hope to have your support.

I have lived in Snoqualmie since 2015 and am committed to helping Snoqualmie remain a safe and welcoming place to live, work, and raise a family. Raised in a multigenerational household by two strong women, and a mother myself, I am a collaborative problem solver and proven public servant.
My career has been focused on serving others and bringing people together. As a legislative staffer, I understand how government is supposed to work and how it can benefit everyone: from young adults to families to seniors. I will use my experience navigating complicated policy to produce better outcomes for Snoqualmie.
We need to maintain our roads and repair our sidewalks, work with regional partners to efficiently address housing affordability, and preserve our open spaces. My endorsements include State Representative Bill Ramos, King County Councilmember Sarah Perry, and Snoqualmie City Councilmember Jolyon Johnson. I would be honored to earn your vote.
As a Snoqualmie resident for over 20 years, I've seen many changes within our city and the Snoqualmie Valley. I will work to cultivate and preserve Snoqualmie’s uniqueness and natural beauty while planning for the economic health of our community and generating support for local businesses. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, I bring a practical perspective that recognizes the importance of fiscal accountability, affordable housing, and community planning.
For the past 45 years, I've served in the fields of emergency medicine, veterinary medicine and firefighting. I've been a member of the Snoqualmie Fire Department for over 20 years, responding on the aid unit, organizing the annual Pancake Breakfast, and leading medical trainings. My dedication to our community runs deep and I bring a unique understanding from decades of service.
It would be my honor and privilege to receive your vote of support for Snoqualmie City Council.
