I was born and raised in the picturesque town of Ojai, CA, just 70 miles north of bustling Los Angeles. Growing up, I was nurtured in a Christian household, instilled with values of compassion and faith. Pursuing my passion for politics, I attended Azusa University for Political Science.
In 1995, at the age of 23, I embarked on a new chapter of my life by moving to New Hampshire. Drawn to the state's natural beauty and vibrant community spirit, I quickly felt at home amidst the spectacular seasons and the resolute ethos encapsulated by the motto "Live Free or Die".
Alongside my incredibly supportive husband, I am proud to be the mother of three wonderful children. My eldest daughter, now 22, radiates with love and vitality, carving her path in the medical field as a skilled LNA and Phlebotomist.
Completing our family are my two sons, aged 8 and 9, whom we welcomed into our lives through adoption after fostering and serving as their legal guardians. Together, my husband and I oversee Buster’s Garage, a cherished family business now in its fourth generation, nestled in the heart of Boscawen, NH.
For the past 15 years, I have dedicated myself to nursing, a career shift prompted by the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy, which led to the closure and relocation of my former finance company. Opting to remain in New Hampshire to raise my children and pursue my love for the outdoors, I found solace and purpose in serving my community as a Registered Nurse.
In every endeavor, whether in business, family life, or public service, my commitment to integrity, compassion, and the betterment of our community remains unwavering.
