Fun Fact

In my free time, I love playing board games with my family and friend. Anything from quick party games to long strategy ones that take all night. I also enjoy baking (especially bread), shooting on vintage film cameras, and restoring old axes and hand tools. There’s something peaceful about bringing an old tool back to working shape or seeing a photo come to life. Those quiet, creative moments help me recharge.

Past Experience

As a resident, parent, and someone who cares deeply about our community’s future, I believe Kearns deserves thoughtful leadership that listens, learns, and acts. I’ve spent the last two years serving on the Kearns Junior High Community Council, working directly with families, educators, and administrators to strengthen communication and support for students. That experience reinforced something I’ve always believed: when everyday people step up, we can make real change. I’m running because I want to ensure that every corner of Kearns every street, school, and family is represented and respected. My campaign is focused on three key priorities: 1. Safe, strong neighborhoods 2. Smart growth and sustainable infrastructure 3. Transparent, responsive local government This campaign isn’t just about policy, it’s about people. It’s about building trust and making sure our local government reflects the values and needs of its residents. I hope you’ll join me. Whether it’s displaying a sign, volunteering, or sharing your thoughts I’d love your support.

My Top Issues

Balance development with neighborhood preservation

I believe Kearns can grow without losing what makes it feel like home. We need to balance development with the preservation of existing neighborhoods and the character of our community.

Improved community and business partnerships

Public safety works best when the community and local businesses are part of the solution. I support stronger partnerships that build trust, share responsibility, and help prevent crime before it starts.

Fund youth mentorship and leadership programs

I believe our young people thrive when they’re supported, challenged, and given opportunities to lead. I support funding mentorship and leadership programs that help youth build confidence, skills, and a stronger connection to their community.
