My Bio
My husband, Chris, and I moved to Fountain Hills from Wellesley, Massachusetts, and fell in love with this special community. We have two grown children who enjoy coming to visit our new home, which quickly became one of their favorite places!
I’m a graduate of the Fountain Hills Leadership Academy, a Make a Difference Day volunteer, and an active member of the Fountain Hills Community Center. When I’m not volunteering, you’ll likely find me hiking our beautiful trails or enjoying pickleball, tennis, or mah jongg with friends.
I bring a proven record of thoughtful, effective leadership in local government. In Wellesley, I served 12 years in elected town government including four years on the school board. During that time, we successfully resolved a high-intensity union contract and guided the construction of two elementary schools, from community engagement and funding approval to ribbon cuttings.
I’m well-versed in the issues facing Fountain Hills and ready to serve as a collaborative, informed, and fresh voice on Town Council.
My Key Issues
Collaborative Leadership
Bringing residents, staff, and community partners to the same table so solutions are shaped with people, not handed down to them. Listening first, respecting different perspectives, and building consensus so decisions feel fair, not forced.
Respectful Growth
Welcome new neighbors and businesses while preserving our community’s character and quality of life. Focus on well‑designed projects and amenities that bring genuine benefits to residents and fit with our town’s scale, infrastructure, and desert setting.
Responsible Spending
Treat every tax dollar like it came from your family budget, not a bottomless bureaucracy. Prioritize core services first: public safety, roads, and infrastructure. Insist that every major decision is evaluated for its long‑term costs and benefits, not just the next budget cycle.
