After spending a long career in the Air Force, first as a meteorologist and then as a military spouse, my family chose to start the next chapter of our lives here in Hollis, NH.

Service to our nation is important to my family, and I am now a proud military mom of three children serving on active duty in the Air Force, Marines, and Navy.

As a native New Englander, I am grateful to be living near my family and to be a part of the Hollis community. Our town has many beautiful landscapes and friendly neighbors who put their hearts into serving their community. I truly enjoy volunteering and participating in town events such as the Christmas Luminaria Stroll, Old Home Days, Grape Festival, and Wreaths across Hollis. In addition, I also participate in the Hollis Brookline High School Civics Department’s Veterans Day and Memorial Day classroom programs.

Hollis State Representative Service

I was elected to the NH House of Representatives in 2020, and requested to serve on the NH State House Environment and Agriculture Committee so Hollis farmers could have a voice in Concord. I was also handpicked to serve as a substitute on the Science, Technology, and Energy Committee, where I was able to utilize my 7+ years as an Air Force meteorologist to evaluate complex legislation.

As a military spouse, I acquired a variety of work experiences and opportunities while moving my family to many locations across the United States. While living in Washington D.C., I assisted Red Cross leadership in crafting Service to Armed Forces policy and guidance, in support of Department of Defense personnel. I also worked as an organizational advisor for a consulting firm whose diverse advisory board included individuals who had served at the highest levels of national government.

As a freelance writer, I’ve worked as an executive-level speechwriter who focused on effective leadership practices. As a contributor to Military Spouse Magazine, I penned articles on emergency preparedness and family support topics for a diverse, multi-cultural military audience. For 6+ years I’ve worked as a hazard mitigation planner and assisted emergency managers in identifying natural hazards that affect their communities, and how they can employ mitigation solutions to build local resiliency.

I am a passionate advocate for public health, and particularly youth health. I currently serve as the New Hampshire Chairman of Smart Approaches for Marijuana, a drug prevention organization which provides educational resources to legislators and the public.
