THANK YOU.
Ada County - I didn’t really know what to expect running as a first time candidate. The results of the election were disappointing, but so many of you put your faith in me and I will forever be appreciative. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I never dreamed of getting this far or having a message of compassion and progress resonate with so many people and I was honored to represent so many of you who believed in a better path forward. I will forever be grateful to the passionate team I ran alongside with. Jonathan Lashley and Johnathan Baldauf - I’ve grown to know you as true public servants but came to appreciate you as friends. Nic and the team at 208 Strategies - you took on so much more than necessary and found creative ways to keep myself and voters engaged. To my Mother and my Fiancé - I love you more than you’ll ever know. Thank you for shouldering the biggest burdens of this campaign and helping carry my dream for me.
If my life journey has taught me anything it’s that progress is hard earned. The path forward will be long and arduous - but not unlike challenges we’ve faced before. Stay strong, stay safe, and please take care of yourself.

My journey started humble and small. It has grown into proud and grand ideas for our future and our county.
My Story
I was born and raised in Boise by a single Mother who sacrificed everything for me. She worked two jobs to ensure I was never in need. She taught me the value of hard work, the principles of being honest and loyal, and to passionately pursue endeavors bigger than myself.
I graduated from Boise State University with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology in 2019. I have worked in Education for 15+ years and am currently earning a Master in Teaching degree from my Alma Mater. I have a wonderful home in southeast Boise which I share with my amazing fiancé and beautiful 4 year old son.
I am committed to representing the values and needs of Ada County residents and ensuring our hard earned tax money is used for positive purposes in the most fiscally responsible way.
What It Means To Be a Public Servant
Consolidating duplicate programs or positions and eliminating redundancies.
Cut wasteful spending while using collected data to innovate ways to use our current revenue more efficiently.
Foster forward thinking programs that will solidify Ada County as a leader in Idaho governance and beyond.
Holding government officials accountable to the hard working people, not to corporate interests or lobbyist groups.
Making decisions based on what is right and fair, not just along party lines.
Community outreach and conversation - people will tell you why and how they would like to see issues addressed.
Public health and safety are paramount to a thriving, successful community - I will invest in our residents.
Address the stranglehold the uncontrolled housing market has had on Ada County residents, new and native alike.
Easier access to healthcare and mental healthcare services, reducing the strain on County Law Enforcement - I will fight for our Emergency Services.
Hiring and managing competent, intelligent, savvy individuals who flourish serving the public.
Investing in clean energy and a new, approachable, and more efficient public transportation plan.
