CatholicBiographical Info:
Although I am not a native, I have called Arizona my home for almost 40 years. I answered the call to public service in 2022 because I knew we needed change at the state level and we needed elected officials with backbone to safeguard and, in many cases, restore our liberties. My degrees include a B.S. in Molecular Biosciences & Biotechnology cum laude from Arizona State University and a B.S. in Nursing magna cum laude from Grand Canyon University (where I graduated second in my class!). Hobbies include team roping and trout fishing.
Statement:
I am running for office to ensure Arizonans have strong borders, secure elections, good jobs, school choice and that we reverse the damage the Hobbs administration is doing to our economy, fight inflation and high prices, protect private property rights, do right by our veterans and first responders, restore our medical freedom, look after our water supply, end DEI and social engineering, and more.
