One of the things I am most famous for saying when working with landowners and residents is: "I treat every piece of land as if it was my own." These are the issues that I hold most dear and that have been expressed to me in my hundreds of conversations with Foothills County residents over the last almost 3 years. My years of learning and listening are my greatest asset as my goal is to be YOUR voice in local government and that only happens with true, meaningful one-on-one communication.

Foothills County has been an amazing place to raise my daughter in and the local Blackie community has provided a warm, friendly environment for us both to grow alongside of. My greatest goal is to serve my fellow residents to the best of my ability and to keep on learning and growing with the community for years to come.
