Serving My Community
I've lived in Elizabeth for 13 years. I love the rural town mindset and want to keep Elizabeth a great local community. I grew up in small towns and have finally returned to a community with a true home-town feel. I love living in a place that has me two minutes from the grocery store and gym. Living in Elizabeth keeps me in my own home and in a great neighborhood! I love my neighbors. Elizabeth is my hometown. Elizabeth is where I choose to live.
I was born in Pennsylvania, moved to Colorado in 1975, graduated high school from Fruita Monument High School in Fruita, Colorado and have a college degree from the University of Denver. I am a proud grandmother to four, mom to three daughters, the best dog ever and one crazy inside kitty. My neutered pets are rescues and may be slightly spoiled!

Serving My Community
Serving My Community
Trusted to responsibly serve the Elizabeth community as a publicly elected Trustee. I have eight years prior experience as a former publicly elected municipal official and and two years as a special district director.
A whole lot of people I don't know personally, have had faith in me to spend their hard-earned tax dollars in a fiscally responsible fashion, provide life safety services and safe drinking water. I take these roles to heart and reverently believe in my public duties.
Experienced
I was publicly elected to serve the Elizabeth community as a member of the Board of Trustee's in 2024. I was appointed as the Mayor Pro-Tem by the Trustee's in 2024.
In a previous life, I was elected to and served two four-year terms as a Parker Town Council Member and two year member of the Parker Water and Sanitation District board. I also served as a Director for the Cherry Creek Basin Water Quality Authority for eight years.
While on Council I served as a liaison to DRCOG, (Denver Regional Council of Governments), the Parker Senior Center, Land Development Revision Committee, the Douglas County Youth Initiative and Parker Cultural Commission.
My volunteer time included serving on the Parker Parks and Recreation Commission, Parker Cultural Commission, Parker Arts Council. Most importantly, I got to spend countless hours attending and driving to my kid's various activities and just being "Mom".
Transparent
The people's business should always be conducted in an open, accessible environment with complete transparency. I like to ask questions and am always searching for additional knowledge. Asking questions allows me to do that. I am not a rubber stamp and will always give my thoughts and insight into whatever is being discussed. My job is to say "No" when the situation is not beneficial or fiscally responsible for the Town.
