I am a 3rd generation Wyomingite, proud mom of two stellar humans, and University of Wyoming Alum #GoPokes!

Born in Laramie and raised in Douglas, I was active in 4-H, Girl Scouts, and tormenting my three younger sisters. My family moved to Casper my sophomore year, where I attended Kelly Walsh high school. I was active in track, basketball, volleyball, Honor Society, and debate. Debate carried over to Casper College where I was part of the team that won Nationals. After earning an associate’s degree from Casper College, I went on to the University of Wyoming to complete my bachelors degree.

My 28-year career in the training and development industry began in 1996 with Dale Carnegie & Associates (DC&A). In 2003, motivated to be close to family and provide my kids with the childhood environment I had growing up, we moved back to Casper.

In 2018, I started Elevate Wyoming. As a certified facilitator and master trainer, I work in both public and private sectors, with for-profit and non-profit organizations. I specialize in leadership development, team cohesion, conflict/change/crisis management, building consensus, culture and organizational alignment. My fields of experience range from oil & gas to healthcare and finance; from local municipalities to state government. I’m a proud Rotarian and Chamber of Commerce member.

The last 10 years, I have actively participated in local issues and policy-making at city, county, and state levels. I know the importance of understanding issues from a variety of perspectives, leaning on experts to help me understand, and the critical importance of engaging those impacted by the decisions made. I am grateful for the extensive network of relationships I have throughout our state. Building partnerships, working together to solve challenges facing our Wyoming communities.

We are stronger together.

I would be honored to serve as the voice of Casper’s House District 56 in Cheyenne.
