About Me

I’ve been asked to run for school board before, and this time, I finally said yes. Why now? Because it just felt right. I’ve always been someone who wants to make a difference—big or small—and serving on the school board is a meaningful way to do that.

I’m a lifelong Tosa resident (minus my years in Madison earning my degree and soaking up life on the isthmus) and still call the same neighborhood I grew up in home. As a proud product of the Tosa school district, it was a unique experience to raise my child in the same schools I attended—two of which my brother also went to.

With a background in fundraising, I bring a different perspective to the school board—one rooted in strategic planning, fiduciary oversight, and the ability to build strong connections with a diverse range of stakeholders. My goal is to use this expertise to strengthen the relationship between the board and the community.

When I’m not working or visiting “the kid” in Eau Claire, you can find me enjoying live music, cooking, reading, or planning my next travel adventure.
