Fun Fact
I love gardening and taking care of our chickens. I can be found most times in the kitchen cooking and baking.
Past Experience
I am a degreed professional with 30+ years experience in the environmental and waste management fields. Currently working at Idaho Environmental Coalition in Environmental Programs (15 years). I previously managed a large landfill for Waste Management Inc. (including staffing, multi-million-dollar budget, fleet maintenance, and contract/union negotiations). I also worked at West Valley Demonstration Project as a technical professional. I am a project manager and a problem solver who will take the time to understand the issues, considering all input, and then prioritizing what is best for Idaho Falls citizens and business owners.
I have a great love for Idaho Falls and a desire to recapture and enhance the traditional small-town atmosphere and feel.
I am not a politician.
My Top Issues
Promoting and preserving traditional family values
• Residents, especially families, and business owners have always been the backbone of our community and are not receiving adequate consideration or priority in City Hall decisions. Supporting their needs should be given the highest priority in all city decisions and activities.
Community involvement in decision-making
We will create direct open lines of communication between the citizens and Idaho Falls City Hall.
As members of City Council, our decisions will be made focusing on what is best for the current citizens and businesses of Idaho Falls.
Balance development with neighborhood preservation
City development should be in-line with residents wishes, focusing on single-family residences, particularly affordable starter homes, while providing a range of housing options.
Ensuring adequate infrastructure needs are met prior to development activities being conducted and overdevelopment should be avoided.
