I was born in Virginia, but I have also lived in Nebraska, Oklahoma, and England. I enjoy reading, playing/watching sports, and traveling. I have traveled to seven countries and 42 states.

Previously, I was a district attorney which gave me a wealth of knowledge and litigation experience. I am passionate about helping others even when I am not working. I regularly volunteer with several groups in the community. Most people would describe me as a workaholic, but I truly love my job... my love of helping others is what drives my work ethic. Challenges are the best because it means I am constantly learning, never settling for status quo.. When I am not working, you can usually find me outside gardening, hiking, or some other outdoor adventure which makes Colorado a great place to live.

I am a Colorado native and grew up in Mancos near the Four Corners. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a concentration in Counseling Psychology and a minor in Sociology from Mesa State College in 2000. I then received my Juris Doctorate in 2003 from the University of Nebraska, College of Law. Following graduation from Law School, I moved with my husband to Austin Texas, where I became a licensed attorney in the fall of 2003. During that same time, I became a new mom and chose to stay home with my first son. In early 2005 our family moved back to Colorado to help with a church plant in the Denver area. I then obtained my Colorado Legal License. In 2006, I began working as a Weld County Deputy District Attorney for the 19th Judicial District in Greeley, Colorado. Our family then moved back to the Grand Junction area and I continued my work for several years as a Mesa County Deputy District Attorney. As a Deputy District Attorney, I prosecuted both misdemeanor and felony level cases. However, most of my career as a prosecutor was spent handling the juvenile criminal docket. I felt it was important to help get the kids back on track through services, education, and appropriate consequences so that they could avoid making similar mistakes as adults.
