My husband and I have lived in the Renton Highlands for the last sixteen years and love this community. As a member of the Fire District 10 Commissioners, I will faithfully honor my responsibility to provide oversight and management of the fire district with my fellow board members. I am passionate about community support for first responders, and am equally passionate that our community protectors should be good partners in our neighborhoods. I have successfully managed organizational budgets and human resource matters as an Executive Director for two non-profits in the Puget Sound region, and have been a leader in both business and government over the course of my career. I am a ‘systems thinker’ which means I look at overall operations when planning for change or celebrating successes.
