My Story

As the Board Chair of SYV Humane Society & DAWG and a former middle school teacher, I’m dedicated to education, community development, and smart growth. I’m running for Buellton City Council to shape a future that blends progress with our town’s unique charm. My experience in education and community leadership has taught me the importance of inclusivity, thoughtful planning, and ensuring every resident has the resources to thrive. I’m committed to making Buellton a place where families, businesses, and visitors feel connected—through safer streets, improved infrastructure, and spaces to meet up with friends and neighbors at community events and centers. Together, we can transform Buellton into a true destination where local businesses thrive, families flourish, and visitors are drawn to our unique shops, world-class wineries, and exceptional dining experiences.
