About the Candidate

I am a content single mother, fierce learner and teacher, ardent lover of life.

I currrently serve on the Advisory Board for Start.coop, an accelerator serving cooperatively owned businesses. After a long and varied career, I've decided to put my money where my mouth is and marry my two deepest passions: storytelling and social justice. The results have surpassed my wildest expectations.

Now, I want to bring my talents to the Longview City Council.

I'm moral and deeply empathetic, super creative and also down to earth, and my hard work and dedication have allowed me to pull myself up by my bootstraps several times over. My interdisciplinary work experience and education allow me to excel at community bridge building. I plan to use my experience in economic development to meet a wide variety of community needs, including environmental protections and investment in community institutions.
