Running for LD5 State Senate.
Arizona has always been at the heart of my story. Except for my college years at UCLA, I have spent my entire life within 6.5 miles of the home where I grew up, raising both my sons and foster children in the same community that shaped me.
For four years, I had the privilege of serving in the Arizona State Senate. I brought with me three decades of teaching experience and the unique perspective I gained while traveling our state as the 2016 Arizona Teacher of the Year. Throughout my two terms, I worked alongside dedicated colleagues who shared my passion for ensuring adequate school funding, safeguarding reproductive health care, addressing our state’s water crisis, and advancing our transportation infrastructure.
Today, I serve as a caregiver to my former track coach, a remarkable 91-year-old man who continues to live independently but benefits from a little extra support each day.
Running has been a constant in my life since age 14, fueling my spirit even more than my body. In my free time, I embrace creativity as an enthusiastic—if not expert—artist, drawing, crafting stained glass pieces, and giving new life to old furniture.
