Professional
My passion for entrepreneurship led me to be on the founding team of a residential solar company based in Lehi, Utah. My commitment to improving operations and realizations rates played a pivotal role in the company’s meteoric rise to multi-million dollar success.
Later, I went into business management consulting where I helped both small and large businesses improve their supply chain and operations processes. Through these efforts, companies were able to save millions of dollars by increasing the efficiencies of their processes.
Currently, as the Continuous Improvement Manager at SME Industries my responsibilities include analyzing current systems and processes, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing lasting change across the organization.

Public Service
Since 2021, I have served as a Commissioner on the Lehi City Planning Commission. Through this experience, I have gained a deep understanding of municipal government and am keenly aware of the impact that it has on its residents. My commitment to upholding property rights and protecting the constitutional freedoms of all citizens has been demonstrated during my service.
Additionally, I have been a Republican County and State delegate multiple times served as the precinct chair for the Holbrook Farms neighborhood in Lehi.
Personal
I grew up in a home where both my parents were actively involved in our community. My dad, Stan, served on the Provo City Council and as the Chair of the Utah Republican Party. My mom, Becky, served in the Utah House of Representatives where she became the first female Speaker of the House. From a young age, I watched as my parents demonstrated their unwavering commitment to our conservative values and constitutional rights.
Years later, I went on to work alongside my mom as her Legislative Intern during the 2012 General Legislative Session. She taught me how to serve with integrity and how to honor the legislative process.
In my spare time, I enjoy going to movies, visiting National Parks, and playing golf. As a mother to two boys, my weekend schedule consists of flag football games or basketball tournaments. As a family, we enjoy being outdoors, building Legos, and riding bikes.
