Experience

I have many years of experience in representative and collaborative government. I currently serve on the Weber County RAMP Tax Advisory Board wherein I review many applications for project grants and collaborate with the board to recommend funding.

 

I also serve as the current chair on the Head Start Policy Council at Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership (OWCAP), directing the monthly meetings and contributing on the OWCAP Executive, Policy and Development, and Fundraising Committees, as well as the Board of Directors. Prior to my role as chair, I served as a voting member on the Council, where I studied the packet before every meeting and contributed thoughtful discussion and questions. While on the council, I was also elected to other officer positions, secretary, and vice chair, serving on their respective committees, the Finance and Planning Committees. 

​

In preparation to run for Roy City Council, I have been familiarizing myself with the government and discussion topics around the city. I have met with Chief Gwynn of Roy City Police Department, Chief Williams of the Fire Department, and Matt Andrews, the City Manger. I have had discussions with them about how their departments run, and their successes, priorities, and challenges. I have attended ride-alongs with the police and fire departments. I have kept up with City Council meetings and met with council members. I have talked with residents about their concerns and attended all Meet the Candidates nights and forums to answer questions about my vision for the city. I am currently working on my emergency preparedness certification through CERT. It is important to me to assimilate City Council business so I can be prepared to integrate seamlessly at the beginning of my term.

​​

My love for government and public service began in 2016 when I was elected as the Weber State student senator for two bodies of constituents: honor students and those in my program. During my service on the Senate, I served on committees and worked on projects to solve student issues. 

​

During my campus campaign, I caught the attention of the director of the Olene S. Walker Institute of Politics and Public Service at Weber State. After my term as senator, she appointed me to the Institute as the communication liaison. In this role, I worked with community partners to secure fundraising, wrote letters of support and grant requests, and organized events to encourage voting registration.

​

Except in my role as senator, for which I received a small tuition waiver, all this experience has been volunteer. The value of a person who is willing to donate her time and talents for the reward of bettering her community cannot be overstated. I also have paid experience that would benefit the city. I previously worked on the invoicing for a home health company, Precision Care. After that, I worked in member service, E-support, and lending at America First Credit Union while completing my bachelor's degree. In these roles, I sharpened my budgeting and communication skills. ​
