Who Am I?
I was born on Long Island, New York, but I was raised in southern New Mexico. After the events of September 11th, I joined the United States Army and served in Germany and Iraq during the early stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
After leaving the military, I attended New Mexico State University and began building a career in retail leadership in various states with Albertsons & eventually Smith’s Food and Drug. In 2018, I returned to New Mexico and eventually became the Assistant Store Leader at Smith’s Marketplace in Los Alamos, where I continue serving the community today.
Over the years, I’ve tried to stay involved and give back to the community that I’m proud to be part of. I currently serve on the Los Alamos County Transportation Board and the Library Board, and as Vice Chair of the Los Alamos Schools Credit Union.
Outside of work and community service, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and visiting with family whenever I can.
I’m running for County Council because I believe in being fiscally responsible, supporting small business and ensuring that community members have a voice before decisions are made.
What do I believe?
-
Cut waste
Spend money where it actually helps residents
“We should be investing in our community and not wasting money on things that don’t directly benefit people.”
-
County Council should get involved in the planning stages earlier (not just rubber stamping).
Make sure community members have a public voice.
“Decisions shouldn’t be a present to the council that is already wrapped up in a nice little package. People deserve to have a voice from the beginning.”
-
Make it easier - not harder - to operate locally
Fix frustrating processes (permitting, inspections, etc.)
“If we want a strong local economy, we need to stop making it harder for small businesses to succeed.”
