From a young age, I was immersed in the world of activism, inspired by my parents who were dedicated campaigners. Growing up, our home was a hub of political discussions and campaign activities, instilling in me a passion for democracy and a commitment to finding common ground. This early exposure to civic engagement shaped my understanding of the importance of active participation in our political system.

As I reflect on my journey, from my formative years in Cheyenne to earning degrees from the University of Wyoming (B.S.), Colorado State University (M.S.), and Walden University (M.Phil.), I see a path defined by resilience and determination. My diverse professional experiences, ranging from gymnastics coach to grant writer, and my volunteer work, including roles as a 4-H leader and labor caucus chair, have equipped me with unique perspectives and a deep connection to my community.

Today, I am driven by an unyielding conviction to stand up for what I believe in. Witnessing the current state of our government, I am compelled to advocate for decorum, cooperation, and the protection of our democratic values. My lifelong commitment to, reproductive rights, workers' rights and equality motivates me to continue fighting for a better future for Wyoming, where every citizen can thrive and contribute to our shared community.
