Biography

For 34 years Logan has been my home and I've found great satisfaction in contributing to make this a better community. The quality of life we enjoy here is unparalled and it's my goal to preserve and enhance this for future generations. Thank you for the opportunity to serve Logan City and it's citizens.

My 4-year term of office on the city council began in January of 2004. Committees I will be serving on for 2004 will be CMPO (Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization), Transit, Economic Development, Parks and Recreation, and the Logan Downtown Alliance Board.

Most of my life has been spent in Logan. I attended five different grade schools in Logan, Logan Jr. High and Logan High School. Following high school I earned an Associates of Science degree from BYU and received further education at California State University Hayward. Other places I have lived are the San Francisco area (Fremont) in my early married years and the Los Angeles area (Arcadia) from 1995-1998 as I served a mission for the LDS church with my husband, Douglas. We are the parents of seven children.
