Park City raised me, and I carry that hometown grit, creativity and care into every decision I make.
Before joining the City Council, I spent more than a decade in the tourism and tech industries. I led global teams, scaled both startups and public companies, and managed operations, strategy, and sales across three continents. That experience taught me how to improve systems, grow ideas, and deliver results.
Today, I bring that mindset to city leadership and my own business. My Main Street business provides housing for employees, hires from our drug court program, supports Olympic hopefuls, and is piloting a zero food waste initiative. I understand the pressures facing local workers, families, and small businesses—and I lead with that awareness.
On the council, I’ve helped secure conservation easements, championed the new senior center, and supported investments in mental health and transportation that improve daily life. I’ve worked with our city team to advance infrastructure, launch a citywide trails master plan, and push for traffic solutions that serve the community now, not years from now.
At the state level, I represent Park City at the Utah Legislature and serve on the Utah League of Cities and Towns Board. I’ve helped pass short-term rental regulations, protect Old Town’s historic character, and block harmful developer loopholes. I also co-chair regional initiatives to expand opportunity for women and families.
Leadership matters, especially when progress stalls. I trust our staff and value their expertise. I collaborate with the county, regional partners, stakeholders and nonprofits because government doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Partnership is how we move forward, burning bridges only isolates us. I ask tough questions but I don’t micromanage — I create space for smart solutions and fresh thinking.
I also lead with a historic perspective. I regularly reach out to former council members, mayors and longtime stakeholders to understand the history behind key decisions. That’s essential as we begin public conversations about places like Richardson Flat — land annexed for open space and recreation, now at risk of high-density development like Dakota Pacific. The community, not developers, should lead that conversation.
We’re managing 33 major city projects. It’s time to stop stalling and start delivering. Let’s put that work to use — starting with the senior center, Bonanza Park, traffic fixes, and open space protections.
I ask for your vote to finish what we started.
