Born in Denver and raised in Aurora, I graduated from Gateway High School in 1996 before earning a five-year swimming scholarship to Colorado State University, where I competed for four years. In 2001, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history and a minor in political science, equipping me with a foundation in critical thinking and problem-solving.

Following graduation, I embarked on a successful 16-year career with Marriott International. In 2003, I relocated to St. Louis where I played a key role in launching a convention hotel that contributed to the revitalization of downtown St. Louis. 

After 14 years I felt a strong pull to return home, and in 2017 I moved to Granby to care for my grandparents’ home — a place deeply rooted in my family’s history since 1965.

Since moving to Granby, I have become immersed in the local community in ways that urban living rarely affords. I serve on the Granby Main Street Grant Committee and joined the Granby Rotary in 2023. As a member of the planning commission for the town of Granby, I am actively involved in shaping the town’s growth.

For the past five years, I have been honored to serve as the branch manager for Credit Union of the Rockies. As part of a not-for-profit cooperative, our mission is to support and empower the very community we live in. Through responsible financial services, we help individuals and businesses thrive, driving local growth and stability. Credit unions are more than financial institutions — they are pillars of community development. I take pride in our role in fostering a stronger, more resilient Granby.

Granby is undergoing significant transformation and I am committed to ensuring that the changes we experience benefit everyone. My focus is on crucial issues like infrastructure development, particularly water management and sustainable growth. 

I approach every challenge by considering the broader picture, balancing my professional expertise with a deep personal investment in the community where I live and work. My decision-making process is informed by diverse perspectives, careful analysis and a collaborative spirit.

Being actively involved in Granby has allowed me to make a meaningful impact, and I am eager to continue contributing to the town’s bright and evolving future.
