Biographical Info:

I grew up in northwest Ohio on a small farm and was blessed with midwest roots from being involved with Girl Scouts, 4-H, summer softball leagues, Sandusky County Fairs and FFA. I attended public school in Gibsonburg, Ohio and finished magna cum laude at Adrian College in Michigan with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration.

I have worked in the private sector for over 30 years, primarily in sales, management and business ownership. Currently, I am the office manager for a Peoria-based real estate company that is the #1 real estate team in Arizona. I am excited to bring my business acumen to the city council!

Statement:

I have lived in Peoria for over 17 years, mostly in the northern part of our city. Just over a year and a half ago, my husband and I moved to the southern part of Peoria. We were shocked at the disparity between north and south Peoria! This was the main catalyst for my decision to run for local office.

I see firsthand that areas in the southern part of our city need a stronger voice to prioritize public safety, engage citizen input and make smart economic development decisions for the future of our city and its residents.
