I have both the education and the hands-on experience necessary to be a Platte County Commissioner.

I have lived in Platte County for over 16 years and have been very active in the community. I served on the Union Chapel PTA Board for many years, and then the Thousand Oaks Homeowner’s Association Board. I then served on the City of Parkville Planning and Zoning Commission for 4 years before being elected as an Alderwoman in 2023.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and an MBA in Finance. I worked in a corporate setting for over 20 years and now run my own small business. I volunteer with local swim teams, school committees, and at a variety of community events.

I am a servant leader, committed to the betterment of Platte County, the Northland, and greater Kansas City. I have an in-depth understanding of the issues facing Platte County and the experience required to address them effectively.
I pledge to work collaboratively with local law enforcement agencies to provide them with the support and resources they need to effectively carry out their duties.

I will advocate for policies that promote economic development, attract investment, and create opportunities for small businesses to thrive in Platte County. I will also prioritize infrastructure projects that improve transportation and other essential services for residents and businesses.

I am committed to ensuring that county resources are allocated efficiently and transparently to meet the needs of residents while maintaining fiscal discipline.
