Born and raised in Missoula, MT, I have always had a strong connection to community and education.
After marrying my husband, we spent nine years in the Seattle area, where I honed my professional skills
in the insurance industry. In 2013, we relocated to Sandpoint, where I found my true calling in community
engagement.
Since moving to Sandpoint, I have been actively involved in local initiatives, starting with my role in the
Bonner County Mothers Club. I took the initiative to establish a Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) group,
which began with a small gathering of women and blossomed into a thriving community of over 50
members. This experience ignited my passion for fostering connections and supporting families in our
area.
My professional background includes office administration for a local church, where I developed strong
organizational and communication skills. Additionally, I have experience in membership management,
event planning, and sales for a large area gym, where I successfully coordinated events that brought
people together and promoted wellness within the community.
With a deep-seated passion for education and community outreach, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the Panhandle Alliance for Education. I believe my experience in event planning and my
commitment to supporting the Sandpoint community make me an ideal fit for this role, and I am eager to
help create impactful educational experiences for our children and families.
