Born in Tucson, raised in Phoenix, and now rooted in Flagstaff, I am a lifelong Arizonan with a deep love for our state’s people, nature, and communities. I spend my free time hiking local trails with my dog, lifting weights, and exploring new music, and I carry a strong passion for weather, health, and the outdoors. My early interest in politics began at age eight and was later shaped by personal experiences, including my sister’s battle with a brain tumor, which opened my eyes to both the strengths and shortcomings of our medical system. These moments instilled in me resilience, curiosity, and empathy - qualities that guide how I listen, learn, and act in service to others.
Professionally, I bring a track record of leadership and adaptability across healthcare, logistics, education, retail, and political outreach. I have helped patients navigate medical equipment, supported students as a college tutor, strengthened operations in warehouses and retail, and led canvassing teams to expand civic participation. Along the way, I’ve honed skills in project management, data analysis, and communication, while earning an Associate of Science degree form Coconino Community College, an EMT certification, and a FEMA emergency response credentials. Whether working one-on-one with individuals or leading teams, I remain committed to problem-solving with integrity, fostering collaboration, and building lasting relationships that serve the broader good of our Arizona communities.
