About Me

I am a wife and mother to 3 sweet souls, living in rural Douglas County amongst our chickens and alpacas. My husband and I are foster/adoptive parents to two of our children. Before we made the decision that I stay at home with our kids, I worked in supply chain and sales operations with a background in logistics. I have my undergraduate degree in Political Science from Truman State University and my M.S. in Global Management from Thunderbird School of Global Management in Phoenix, AZ. My husband and I are members of Redemption Bible Church in Baldwin City and I’ve served on the Baldwin City Recreation Commission board.

I grew up as an “el Rushbo” baby, listening to Rush Limbaugh daily with my mom on AM radio. In college, I was an active member of the College Republicans at Truman State and served as its President my junior year. I also interned in the Missouri Senate and have volunteered and worked on many campaigns.

I am running because I’ve seen the seismic changes in our culture. The foundational assumptions I was raised with have been swept away; the college-to-career pipeline is eroded and barriers to homeownership are high. I am working to make Kansas a destination for this next generation, where taxes aren’t an impediment to businesses, families and seniors; our children can thrive in safety and stability; and our culture values life.

As a member of the Kansas Truth Caucus, my guiding principles are:

• Limited Government - As legislators our role should always be to limit the size and scope of government.

• Individual Liberty - One of the founding principles of our nation is the freedom to chart one’s own course.

• Free Enterprise - Businesses and individuals thrive when the free market is allowed to operate unencumbered.

• Traditional Values - The family is the foundational unit to our culture.
