I am running for city council to create a welcoming environment where residents want to live, work and see their businesses flourish. It’s important to have an inclusive community where all people feel accepted.  Over the past 4 years, I have addressed the concerns of our community.  I will continue to listen and drive change as a city council member.  My goals are to find solutions for homelessness and continue the active engagement between the city, its neighbors, the school district and Green River College.

I know how to work well with others to make progress. As a school board member, I was influential in bringing a bond, supported by voters, for two new elementary schools and six replacement schools. These facilities will make a difference in the lives of children, educators, and the surrounding community.

I've been a resident of Auburn for fourteen years. I ask for your vote.

As an Auburn city resident I see many priorities facing us including displaced families, a safer community, the opioid crisis, having a financially stable city, more jobs and business opportunities, roadwork and more.  As a council member, I vow to work towards the success of these.

As a Chef, mentor and restaurant manager for 19 years, I have developed the strengths of leadership and problem solving.  I am known for my passion and taking action in finding ways to improve systems, processes and procedures. In my current position, I successfully manage a budget greater than that of the City of Auburn, so I understand money management.  I volunteer at my daughter’s school in Auburn and am an inaugural member of the Mayor’s new Jobs Task Force.

I have the good of the city and our people as my focus. When elected, I will passionately commit to bettering our community.
