Currently, I work full-time at Grand Canyon University as a Science Program Coordinator, and my past experiences includes working in the Molecular Medicine Laboratory at St. Joseph’s Hospital performing infectious and genetic disease testing.

I grew up just outside of Detroit in a low-income family neighborhood. I had support of a loving family, perseverance to learn and was the first person in my immediate family to complete a college degree.
My husband Peter and I were married for 35 years before he recently passed, and we’re blessed with two beautiful daughters, Kayla and Angela.

Statement:

I’ve won awards for my conservative voting record — improving accountability in education, boosting academic standards, promoting school choice and parental rights, defending the sanctity of life, vigorously fighting governmental overreach and mandates, and strengthening the Second Amendment and religious freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution. You get TWO votes for State Representative — please cast them for me AND David Livingston because we share conservative beliefs and are no-nonsense lawmakers who do what is right. With your prayers and support we will win this fight and keep Arizona a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Thank you!
