I returned to Wyoming in 2022 after retiring from Fremont County Public Health Nursing  in 2016, spending time in Florida and experiencing the southern US. I have worked as an RN since 1988 after receiving an associate degree in nursing from CWC and a BSN from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1991. I currently work part time doing home health.

Thanks to my time in the Army in the 80s, my very conservative upbringing in rural Wyoming was opened up and my world view was changed forever! From that time on I have been a Democrat, but only in the last 6 years have I gotten involved politically.

I joined the Fremont County Democratic Party in late 2023 and became the vice chair when that position opened up in January 2024. I am honored to now chair the FCDP and appreciate the guidance and wisdom of our dedicated local Democrats. I feel strongly that we must continue to do the work we have started. 

Following the devastating presidential election in November 2024, it only strengthened my resolve and it is my intent to work very hard to further progressive values in our state and nation.

I have two adult children; a son and a daughter and 3 grandchildren. I am extremely fortunate that I get to spend time with them often.

I enjoy reading, camping, photography and spending time outdoors; nature and animals are my passion.

I consider myself an activist on a very small scale. I care deeply about the environment and social justice for all people.

I have been voting as a Democrat since I was of an age to vote with one only exception. I have never been very involved in the process other than participating in demonstrations on issues I felt were undermining our freedoms or against wars. Now, as our freedoms are being eroded, I began attending these meetings. I've been coming for a bit over a year and feel we are doing good things.
