A vision for Duvall isn’t about one person dictating the plan- it’s about setting a clear direction and creating space for community voices to shape the “how.”
I’m committed to safer streets, a thriving small-town economy, and infrastructure that keeps pace with growth- built together, not from the top down.
What’s one thing you’d like to see in Duvall’s future?
Since 2024, I’ve served on the King County Flood Advisory Committee as an alternate member, working alongside regional experts and leaders to guide policies and investments that reduce flood risks across our area—including here in Duvall.
While Duvall’s homes aren’t directly in the floodplain, flooding can seriously impact commutes and safety, blocking key roads and emergency routes that residents rely on every day.
Through this role, I make sure Duvall’s unique transportation and safety concerns are included in regional flood planning—helping keep our roads open, our people safe, and our community connected during storm events.
By advocating for smart, science-based solutions, I’m committed to strengthening Duvall’s resilience and ensuring we’re prepared for whatever nature sends our way.
Throwback Thursday to Washington, D.C. and the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference!
One of the most important parts of serving in city leadership is making sure Duvall’s voice is heard on the national stage. During this last trip, we advocated for keeping municipal bonds tax-exempt. Why? Because if they lose that status, it could mean higher borrowing costs for cities like ours, fewer resources for infrastructure, and even higher local taxes on residents—essentially taxing families twice.
We also supported the City of Carnation’s message about the importance of safety in warning systems and monitoring of the Tolt Dam, as well as the critical need for improvements like the roundabout on SR-203 near Carnation. In addition to these shared priorities, we always make it a point to inform our legislators of Duvall’s needs—both current and future—so they understand the challenges and opportunities ahead for our community.
Over the years, the specific advocacy priorities may shift—from infrastructure to public safety to financial policy—but the core always stays the same: working for the people of Duvall and advancing the best interests of our community.
Being in D.C. is always a powerful reminder that local voices matter, and that small cities like ours play a big role in shaping the future.
I’m honored to share that the Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948 has endorsed my campaign for Mayor of Duvall.
Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948 represents over 30,000 classified school employees across Washington state — including paraeducators, bus drivers, office staff, custodians, food service workers, and IT specialists, as well as several hundred higher education classified and exempt staff at our state’s regional universities.
These members are essential to the day-to-day operation of our schools and universities and to the success of every student.
Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948 endorsed me because of my deep respect for the vital work their members do and my commitment to supporting public education and the people who make it possible. I believe classified employees are not just support staff — they are educators, problem-solvers, and community builders.
I share PSE’s values of equity, respect, and public service. I know that strong schools and strong communities go hand in hand, and I’m grateful to have their trust and support.
Together, we will continue building a stronger, more connected Duvall.
One thing people may not know about me—I love capturing the world through a lens. I’m the family photographer, the documenter of our adventures, and the one who takes thousands of photos each year on every trip.
Those who’ve traveled or just walked with me know that something always catches my eye: a tiny ladybug on a leaf, a flower unlike any I’ve seen before, or the way the sun sneaks through the trees as I walk by. You can tell a lot about someone by the photos they take—their unique perspective. I hope that by seeing my photos in all of my posts and reels, you’ll start to get a sense of who I am beyond the words I write.
Photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s my way of noticing the little details that make life beautiful and remembering the moments that matter. Through my lens, I get to celebrate everyday magic, and I love sharing that perspective with all of you.
