WHO I AM
W I F E , M O T H E R , N E I G H B O R
My husband Ted and I moved to Hollis 25 years ago with our two children. Like many of you, we came to Hollis for the excellent schools, the acres of open farmland, and the strong sense of community that defines Hollis. From the moment we arrived, we knew that Hollis would be a community where we could set down deep roots for our family, a place where our children would thrive, and we would make long-lasting friendships that we could count on.

In 2004, I launched “The Creative Feast,” identifying a unique opportunity in culinary instruction. My client base grew as I traveled to libraries and women’s groups across New England, and more recently, nationwide through online platforms. Innovation and customer service have been critical skills that led to my success as a chef and small business owner.
In February 2023, I identified a need in the Hollis community. I discovered that residents missed having a local newspaper. Working with a group of Hollis residents, we launched the Positively Hollis project. In a few months, we created a website, and by March 2024 we mailed the first issue of The Positively Hollis Post to 3,600 homes and every business in town. Today, Positively Hollis stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of listening to and addressing residents' needs.

WHY I AM RUNNING
I am running because I believe in the bright future of New Hampshire and its unique identity as the freest state in the nation. Now, more than ever, we need people of conscience in Concord to stand up against legislators seeking to remake our state in the image of our neighbors by increasing government overreach. If elected, I will champion common sense, constitutional, limited government, and individual freedoms. I will prioritize the safety and protection of children, the rights of parents, and excellence in education for every student. With your support, I will work to ensure that every New Hampshire citizen continues to "Live Free." Vote for conservative candidates like me who share your values; increasing our majority at the State House is the only way to preserve our state's unique identity.
