Platform.

  • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:

    My longstanding commitment to supporting our local businesses remains a top priority. I want to continue finding ways to help them grow and thrive by increasing visibility and connecting them to resources. It’s not just about attracting new businesses, but supporting their growth and activating our commercial centers to ensure our existing businesses’ success. I also want to ensure the development of Downtown Superior and beyond is done so thoughtfully and with a sharp eye on the Town’s overall financial health and environmental impact.

    FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:

    Given my financial background, another area I’ll continue to focus on is responsibly managing the Town’s finances. Having dug into the numbers while serving on the Finance Committee, I believe there are adjustments we can make to ensure the Town’s long-term financial viability.

    HEALTH AND SAFETY:

    I’m extremely grateful for the partnership Superior shares with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, so I fully support furthering that relationship with funding for an additional deputy in 2027 to keep our community safe. I’m also interested in continuing to find ways to improve safety through transportation and pedestrian improvements. I want to further protect our community from future wildfire risk with smart building techniques, fuel reduction, and disaster preparedness best practices. And I support the Town’s ongoing efforts for relief from the health & safety issues caused by Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport.

    ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY:

    I think it’s important to consider how we impact the environment and continue to put in place strategies to reduce our carbon footprint. I support the Town’s Sustainability Action Plan and measures to 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).

    PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS:

    As someone who enjoys efficiency and organization, I love exploring areas for improvement and finding ways to optimize processes to ensure time and money are spent productively.

  • 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, do my research, and welcome feedback to ensure I make an informed decision that’s rooted in what’s best for our community as a whole.

    I’m also exceptionally organized, an avid connector, and I bring an unparalleled work ethic to every endeavor I undertake. I have a proven track record of steady leadership in the face of daunting challenges. And I’m dependable, having only missed three Town Council meetings during my four-year term.

  • I’m grateful for the well-rounded perspective I’ve gained through the many roles I’ve had during my first term on Town Council.

    Those roles include:

    • Finance Committee member

    • Transportation & Safety Committee member

    • Economic Development Committee member

    • Open Space Advisory Committee (OSAC) liason

    • Park &Recreation Advisory Committee (PARC) liason

    • Cultural Arts & Public Space Committee (CAPS) backup liason

    • Sister City Committee liason

    I’m also extremely active in the Superior Chamber of Commerce and host a weekly networking group and the monthly SuperiHER business group at my office to help local business owners connect and grow.

A Bit About Me.

Background.

I’ve been a Superior resident for over 20 years, moving here after graduating from CU Boulder, and have loved this community for as long as I can remember.

Professionally, I’m a Vice President at InBank, where I recently moved our northern Colorado location to Superior. I’ve used my financial background to help residents navigate construction financing for fire rebuilds, and I’ve assisted local business owners in understanding small business resources and financing options. In addition, I hold a Certified Wealth Strategist designation, was recognized as a Notable Woman in Finance by BizWest Magazine, and was honored as the 2023 Heather Cracraft Superior Achiever Award recipient for my ongoing service and commitment to our community.

I’m also an avid world traveler who ventured to all seven continents in one year, and I was part of Superior’s first delegatory trip to our Sister City in Khandbari, Nepal.

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 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 President of the Board, where I helped the organization navigate both COVID and the Marshall Fire.

I also sat on Avista Hospital’s Community Partnership Committee and its Women’s Council. And I’ve organized and run community events like the Marshall Fire Recovery Expo, Small Business Expos, Nonprofit Expos, and several blood drives.

  • In My Free Time.

    My passions include travel, outdoor adventures, and photography. In fact, some of my photos have been featured in publications like National Geographic, The Washington Post, and Lonely Planet. On weekends, you can usually find me paddleboarding, hiking, or heading out for a quick trip to a new locale.

  • 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.
