I began visiting Montana in 2016 and fell in love with everything about her. I moved to Helena in 2020 to finish my education at Carroll College.

My introduction to Montana Politics was through the 2023 Legislative Session, where I worked as the House Judiciary Committee Clerk. I was able to see firsthand the processes of our great state. In a nonpartisan position, I kept my true thoughts to myself as I pondered the bills, wondering how I would vote if I could. I listened to concerned Montanans as they told their stories, shared their expertise, and fought for their rights. I then took the time to work behind the scenes at the Democratic Party, learning the issues, studying history, and having hard conversations.

I have an array of experiences, including retail, gardening in a grow, youth mental health counseling, and political consulting. Building relationships with people who hold different values from mine is what I find to be the most effective method of communication.
