Fun Fact
In my free time I love to spend time with my family. I have two children that are growing up way to fast. I try to spend as much time as possible with them and try to cherish every moment. We love to be outdoors, hiking, boating, walking, trying new restaurants, exploring new towns, traveling. I also really enjoy being home, doing projects and working in the garden.
Past Experience
I have been in love with the city of Fredericksburg since visiting as a child. I knew one day I would live here and after college I landed right back here to make that dream come true. I bought my first house in the city in 2005 and recently purchased an additional home in the city in 2022. Over the last 20 years I have worked in financial positions in both for-profit and non profit jobs in and around the city. I have involved myself with city schools by joining the PTA for my children's school, helping with the city's cold weather shelter, volunteering for various charities, and being involved with our church and community outreach. Organically, I have cultivated many connections and friendships over the years through work, volunteering and my children. It would be an honor to be able to serve the people of city I love so very much.
My Top Issues
Community involvement in decision-making
In regards to a new payment system, I would like citizen's involvement and opinions about other systems they might have used that they find user friendly.
Utilizing technology for improved government services
I would like to implement a mobile friendly system.
Improve community awareness for best practices
Send out information with bills or via email on practices to conserve water and lower bills.
Taxes / Budget
As Treasurer, my priority will be to ensure that every taxpayer dollar is handled responsibly, transparently, and with the community’s best interest at heart.
