Originally from Florida, I relocated to the Tetons with my family from the Washington, DC area in 2017 and now proudly call Driggs home. I earned my BA in Business Administration from University of North Florida and my MBA in International Business from University of Portsmouth in the UK.
Prior to moving to Teton Valley, I served as Regional Director for Hope for the Warriors®, where I advocated for fiscal support and the long-term needs of injured service members and their families. I also managed major fundraising initiatives, including the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), and organized the inaugural Got Heart, Give Hope® gala, now in its 16th year. During my time there, I worked to increase the organization’s credibility and national visibility, helping it earn the “Best in America” designation from the Independent Charities of America and accreditation from the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance.
After moving to Teton Valley, I worked with Teton School District 401 and in the private education sector. Throughout 2022 and 2023, I served the Teton Regional Economic Coalition as Program Manager, supporting local economic development initiatives adopted through the Teton County Economic Development Plan. In this capacity, I was focused on strengthening existing local businesses, supporting startups and prospective businesses, and promoting job creation, higher wages, sustainability, and conservation. I also managed the Idaho Tourism Commerce (ITC) grant, Teton Valley’s largest state funding source, which provides funding for local nonprofit events. Additionally, I oversaw the marketing and management of the Teton Geo Center, creating educational programs, while identifying and securing simultaneous grant funding and sponsorships for TREC, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Teton Geo Center.
I currently serve on the Board of Teton Valley Collaborative for Early Learning, which supports the development and expansion of early care and early learning opportunities in our community. My husband and I are raising our two daughters in Driggs, and we deeply value the outdoor lifestyle and natural beauty that make Teton Valley such a special place to live.
"I regularly remind my daughters that growing up in Teton Valley is a privilege, a refuge in an increasingly chaotic world, where neighbors look out for each other and people are genuinely helpful. That kind of community is worth working to protect.”
