Almost fifteen years ago my husband and I made the City of Maple Valley our home. I love living here, yet much has changed. We’ve watched groves of trees cut down to make way for new homes. More people and more retail development cause congestion on our streets and highways.

We need a balance of economic growth while still maintaining a friendly, small-town sense of community. This will require working together to find a way to allow growth yet incorporate adequate ways for families to stay, work and play in our city.

The Council will benefit from my perspective as a Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) retiree, and my knowledge of government processes in general.

I want our city to thrive.  I will use this passion to work with Council and staff to identify problems and find solutions.  I want to be your voice on the Council.
