I am running for re-election! The past four years have been a wonderful experience! I have learned a great deal, met many, many new friends and worked hard to make sure Crystal continues as a great place to live, work, worship and play. As your council representative for the past four years, I want to continue my work in our community.
I am proud of my accomplishments during my time on the Council. I have worked hard with other Council members to re-establish a Human Rights Commission (Diversity and Equity Commission); worked with neighborhood groups regarding potential development and worked hard to be the voice of residents.

Crystal is a great community and has been my home for over 29 years. My children grew up here. I love the people, neighborhoods, the parks and unique businesses.
I grew up in Davenport, Iowa. I’m the 8th child in a family of ten. I have a B.A. from the University of Iowa in communication and psychology. I earned a paralegal certificate from the Philadelphia Institute and moved to Minneapolis. I eventually made Crystal my home. I have been married to Randy for 35 years. We have two sons – Rory and Jackson.
I have been doing paralegal work in one form or another for many years. Currently I have a small consulting business concentrating on family law. I also studied graphic design, earning a AAS degree. Design is important in every application.
One of the things that makes Crystal great is that our city runs efficiently. We need leadership that is responsive to community members, uses our resources carefully and has a strong vision for Crystal’s future. I am that candidate!
