Professional Experience
I am a graduate of the 2022 City of Chandler CIVIC program. My professional experience includes
working for major Chandler employers such as Chandler Regional Medical Center and Chandler
Unified School District - in both positions I worked as a registered nurse. Nursing is my second
career. Prior to nursing I worked in several administrative roles in companies throughout the valley
including Avnet and the City of Mesa. I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelors of
Science in Nursing and I graduated from Chandler-Gilbert Community College with an Associate of
Applied Science in Nursing in 2017.
Board/Committee Experience
I served as treasurer for one term, and vice-president for one term for the International Moms Club,
San Tan Valley Chapter. MOMS Club is an official 501c3 organization and was professionally run by
the local chapter. I was an active member from 2009 through 2012.
Briefly explain why you would like to serve on the board / commission
I am a mom of two disabled sons and I feel that I have a unique perspective as a health care
provider and also a parent to two special needs children. I have spent my adult life advocating for
the underserved. I am active in the disability community online where I help connect parents to
resources. I also am an ambassador in a doctor founded online community supporting the autism
community called Autism Roadmaps. In my work as a nurse, I am a public health provider. At
Chandler Unified School District I oversaw multiple public school health offices and managed a
team of nursing assistants. I regularly advocated for many special needs students. At Chandler
Regional Hospital I worked in the Community Wellness department where we provided free
medical care for the uninsured. It was important to be aware of all the resources available in our
community. I would like to make a difference in the City of Chandler by helping to ensure my
neighbors who are disabled or are caring for the disabled are represented and have a voice.

Professional Experience
In the past, I have worked with youth and adults at all levels of education, socioeconomic status,
and mental-physical abilities. I have enjoyed the day-to-day operations of the educational process,
medical process, military process, and everything in between. I believe in planning ahead and
setting goals and implementing the structure to achieve those goals. Having also worked in the
medical field in both the military and in the private sector, I have experience working with the
public as well as the efficient operations of an office setting. Further, this has given me experience
in crisis management and thinking on my feet. My goals are to use my knowledge and time to help
those who need assistance from the veterans to the elderly to the unhoused or to the children.
Board/Committee Experience
I believe in giving back to our community as it is vital to our successes. I have been an active
volunteer in all of the schools my four children have attended from elementary through college as
well as all of their athletic programs, Girl Scouts and booster clubs. I volunteered with the Tempe
Sister City Organization for many years. I served as an Executive Board Member for the ASU Family
Association for several years assisting in fundraising events for their scholarship fund. While
working for TUHSD I sat on the Budget Committee, Safety Committee, Health and Wellness
Committee and was a representative for our classified staff at the district level. Currently I am an
active volunteer with MCDPH-Medical Reserve Corp. I was part of the Covid Response Team and
spent 400 hours out at one of the vaccination pods helping to vaccinate the community. Through
MCDPH-MRC, I also currently volunteer on occasion with AZCEND-Chandler as well as the City of
Phoenix Heat Relief Program.
Briefly explain why you would like to serve on the board / commission
I believe in giving back. Supporting the community we live in is vital to its success. Enabling others
to have the opportunities I have had and that my children have had is crucial for our communities
to continue to thrive and to change generational issues. The issues with our unhoused are vast and
we need to work together for a solution. Our veteran's need to be held to the highest honor and
given opportunities they may have passed up because they chose to serve our country. Our
children deserve to have parks and neighborhoods that are safe and that offer a gathering spot for
their friends and families. Community is everything and my husband and I have lived and worked in
and around this community for more than 30 years.
