If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my time on Town Council, it’s that you have to approach issues with an open mind and zero ego. So, I diligently consider topics from every angle and welcome feedback to ensure I make an informed decision that’s rooted in what’s best for our community as a whole.
I also have a proven track record of steady leadership in the face of daunting challenges (like guiding the Superior Chamber of Commerce through COVID, the Marshall Fire, and hiring new Executive Directors during my time as President of the Board).
I’m dependable, exceptionally organized, an avid connector, and I bring an unparalleled work ethic to every endeavor I undertake.

Superior is One Community made up of several different parts (Original Town, Sagamore, Rock Creek, and our new Downtown, just to name a few). And, each presents its own opportunities and challenges. As a trustee serving our entire community, one of my top priorities is to sit down with members of each area to learn more about what I can do to help them individually.
In addition, I feel our community is at a crossroads between the Marshall Fire recovery and the continued development of Downtown Superior. I think it’s important to, first and foremost, support our residents that are still recovering from the fire. Then, ensure that the development of Downtown and beyond is done so thoughtfully and with a focus not only on the residents who will live there, but also on the town’s overall economic health and environmental impact.
We must also prioritize supporting our local businesses that have been hard hit after the pandemic and the Marshall Fire shortly thereafter. While a record number of funds were raised to assist residents with their losses in the fire, businesses have received little to no funding and are struggling to recover as a result.
Finally, as someone who enjoys efficiency and organization, I love exploring areas for improvement within how the board and meetings are run to help streamline processes and ensure time is used productively.

I think it’s extremely important to consider how we impact the environment and put in place strategies to reduce our carbon footprint. As trustee, I support measures that protect our open space, reduce water consumption, utilize solar energy, and move away from fossil fuels (assuming those measures don’t put an unnecessary financial burden on our residents).
A bit about me.
Background.
I moved to Superior over 20 years ago after graduating from CU Boulder with a degree in Advertising & Marketing. I bought my first home in the Saddlebrook townhomes before slowly making my way up the hill from house to house in Rock Creek. I’ve loved this community for as long as I can remember and can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Professionally, I’m the Vice President of Commercial Banking at InBank (located in Superior), where I specialize in business and consumer banking as well as residential construction lending (which allowed me to be a resource for neighbors navigating the tricky rebuild process after the Marshall Fire).
Community Involvement.
I’m deeply passionate about serving the Superior community and have done so in a number of roles over the last two decades.
Currently, I’m serving my first term as a Superior Town Council Member. It’s a position that demands countless hours and a lot of hard work, but I’ve also found it to be the most rewarding way I’ve served my community to date.
In addition, I’ve been an active member of the Superior Chamber of Commerce for 20 years. There, I served on the Board of Directors for 9 years, culminating in my role as the Board President through COVID and the Marshall Fire.
I also sat on Avista Hospital’s Community Partnership Committee and its Women’s Council. Plus, I’ve organized and run community events like the Marshall Fire Recovery Expo, Small Business Expos, Nonprofit Expos, blood drives, community carnivals, and photos with Santa.

In My Free Time.
My passions include travel, photography, and outdoor adventures (which is why I love living in Colorado!) On weekends, you can usually find me paddleboarding, hiking, or heading out for a quick trip to a new locale. I also love organizational projects, board games (since I’m extremely competitive), and I never met a carb I didn’t like.

My Goals.
As a Superior Town Council Member, my goal has always been to help our community move forward with thoughtful leadership that focuses on strengthening local businesses, finding ways to diversify revenue, streamlining workflow efficiencies, and supporting residents using collaborative problem-solving.
