About Me

My family and I love living in Edmonds, and we enjoy the strong sense of community here throughout all of our neighborhoods! This is where my husband and I are raising our youngest daughter, and where so many of our friends are. We also love our community’s vast diversity, and want to be a part of our city’s evolution. While we face serious challenges, we also have an exciting opportunity to shape a future that is thriving and inclusive for all.

I’m running for re-election because my life is about service. It’s vital that we foster an environment where everyone feels respected and heard, that everyone has a role in being an important part of our growth. I have the proven leadership that is needed to address our most pressing issues and have the experience and skills to work collaboratively on Edmonds’ priorities.

As a Councilmember, and a former member of the Snohomish County Planning Commission and the Edmonds Citizen Tree Board, I’ve been in the position to hear first-hand many of the policy, planning, development, housing, and growth issues that are important to our community. This experience has prepared me to look out for Edmonds community members to ensure that we are adequately addressing both our current and future needs. It’s imperative that we shape development in a way that meets the needs of all community members and business owners while protecting our environment and increasing our community's quality of life. 

You deserve a city council member who has a demonstrated history of solving complex problems and has proven that they can bring people together for meaningful collaboration which is focused on finding common ground to create solutions that make sense.

As a working mom and wife, I have decades of experience working in multiple sectors, including both corporate, health care, and non-profit. In my current role as Vice President of Programs for Volunteers of America Western Washington, I work closely with many area officials and their staff, as well as many partners to address the human service needs of our county.

Most importantly, I am running for re-election because I love Edmonds and want to see it work for everyone. I am excited for our future, and I will work hard both to earn your vote and as your council member.

Please reach out. I’d appreciate hearing about what’s important to you and what you too love about our city!
