I attended Hellgate High School and graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Psychology. I started Rock Against Racism while in college as a community volunteer program, raising funds and awareness for the YWCA. I also did volunteer work in the Dominican Republic teaching English to children and building homes with Habitat for Humanity. I was the president of the Missoula Businesswomen’s Network in 2021/2022. I’m involved with the Missoula Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Association, Summit at Mismo Cheer Booster club as well as numerous non-profit organizations.

I have been a Partner at Marketplace Events since 2007. I’ve lived in Missoula since 1993 and am raising two girls, Bailie and Charlie, with my husband Matt. We love living in Missoula and relaxing at our family cabin in Seeley Lake.
