Why I serve 

I have lived in Tumwater for over 35 years, worked and raised my children here. All three were students of the Tumwater School District, graduates of Black Hills High School; each on their own individual path!

My commitment for serving is deeply rooted in my commitment to our city and it's future. 

I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of our residents. I am committed to promoting sustainable practices and policies that safeguard our environment for future generations. I am committed to enhancing our parks and trails, ensuring they are enjoyable and accessible for all residents. I am committed to safe streets. I believe in investing in infrastructure that promotes safety and encourages healthy, active lifestyles. 

I appreciate the opportunity to continuing our work together to make Tumwater an even better place to live, work, and play.
