I’ve called Arkansas home for nearly my entire life, but there’s no place like Benton County. Small-town family life and community moments in Rogers have a special place in my heart. That’s why I’ve fought so hard to make this area the best place to live I possibly can for the past six years.

I’m proud to have campaigned for and served on our first resident-run POA board in my old neighborhood. There, I forged transparency for homeowners. I made sure ordinary citizens knew how funds were being allocated and ensured there was a clear plan for long-overdue amenity improvements.

Currently, I am serving as Treasurer for my children’s school PTA. I’m making sure we enhance the outcomes for our children’s education and lives. At the same time, I am keeping us fiscally responsible and efficient.

I’m no stranger to meeting large needs with small funds. It’s why I’ve gotten so good at maximizing every dollar’s impact on everyday people’s lives. Long-term planning experience in nonprofit budgeting and allocation boards has sharpened my ability to work with folks from all different backgrounds and views.

The greatest lesson I’ve taken from my years of experience is that you must listen directly and frequently to the people. That is the best way to ensure their money is working for their needs.
