Office Sought Boundary County Clerk
One of the most important challenges facing Boundary County is maintaining public trust while delivering accurate, efficient, and accessible services. As expectations evolve, county offices must remain professional, transparent, and responsive.

Within the Clerk’s office, this includes secure elections, accessible public records, and strong financial oversight, all carried out in compliance with Idaho law.

To address these challenges, I will focus on organization, accountability, and clear communication. Supporting well-trained staff and consistent processes helps ensure reliable service and public confidence.

I also bring a new perspective and leadership approach focused on service, efficiency, and respect for both the public and county employees. My goal is to build on what is working while strengthening trust and accessibility across the office.
I bring a combination of public sector experience, financial expertise, and proven leadership in complex operational environments. I previously served as a Revenue Deputy in the Boundary County Clerk’s office, where I worked directly with county financial processes and understand the importance of accuracy and accountability in government operations.

In my current role as a Senior Service Specialist with Edward Jones, I support financial operations, problem-solving, and process improvement in a highly regulated environment. I have also held leadership roles managing multi-million dollar budgets, coordinating teams, and implementing large-scale system transitions.

These experiences have strengthened my ability to organize workflows, support staff, and communicate clearly with the public. I understand how to balance compliance with efficiency, and I am committed to ensuring the Clerk’s office operates with professionalism, transparency, and consistency.
Staying engaged with constituents is essential to maintaining trust and transparency in the Clerk’s office. I believe communication should be clear, consistent, and accessible to everyone in our community.

I would prioritize regular updates through multiple channels, including social media, the county website, and a periodic “Clerk’s Communiqué” to share important information about elections, public records, and county processes. This helps ensure residents understand not just what the office does, but how and why it matters.

I also believe in being present and approachable—whether that’s attending community events, responding to questions, or providing helpful, timely information.

My goal is to create an environment where residents feel informed, respected, and confident in their county government.
