WHERE I COME FROM
​As a Snoqualmie resident for over 20 years, I've seen many changes within our city and the Snoqualmie Valley. I will work to cultivate and preserve Snoqualmie’s uniqueness and natural beauty while planning for the economic health of our community and generating support for local businesses. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, I bring a practical perspective that recognizes the importance of fiscal accountability, affordable housing, and community planning.
​For the past 45 years, I've served in the fields of emergency medicine, veterinary medicine and firefighting. I've been a member of the Snoqualmie Fire Department for over 20 years, responding on the aid unit, organizing the annual Pancake Breakfast, and leading medical trainings. I am also a volunteer and Co-Chair for the Snoqualmie Arts Commission. My dedication to our community runs deep and I bring a unique understanding from decades of service.
It would be my honor and privilege to receive your vote of support for Snoqualmie City Council.​
