Running for re-election in 2024!

As a non-profit leader and economic developer, I have a deep desire to serve my community and make a difference. My experience, passion and empathy allow me to be a thoughtful collaborator as we build an Equality State where all our hard working residents have the opportunity to thrive.

For the past four years I’ve had the great honor of serving the people of Albany County in the Wyoming House of Representatives. In my “day job” I work to build a vibrant community by collaborating with a broad range of entities and individuals, focusing on relationships and developing trust around common goals. I love working one-on-one with small business owners and their hard working employees, being exposed to new ideas, and finding “outside of the box” solutions to challenging problems. 

In the legislature and with Downtown Laramie, I champion Wyoming’s locally owned businesses and job creators. I believe in making investments in our creative economy, manufactures, and outdoor recreation resources. I promote our history and culture and support policies that preserve individual freedoms.

These values allow me to provide leadership in developing strategies for Wyoming to diversify its economy and provide opportunities for young people.

In addition to my “boots on the ground” experience, I have a Master’s Degree in Public History with an undergraduate in History, Photography and English. I am a Leadership Wyoming graduate, class of 2009, a participant in Wyoming Game and Fish’s Becoming an Outdoor Woman program, co-founder of the Laramie Mural Project and the Laramie Public Art Coalition. I served as a board member for the Wyoming State Historical Society, the Laramie Plains Museum, and was President of the Albany County Historical Society. I am active in my church, Trinity Lutheran, and volunteer with several of Laramie’s non profits. 

In my free time I enjoy kayaking, hiking, dog training, photography, hunting and cooking wild game, and the challenge of gardening at 7,220 feet!
