In my fifth year on Bellingham City Council, I serve as Council President Pro Tempore, Chair of the Public Health, Safety, Justice, and Equity Committee, and sit on the Community and Economic Development Committee, and on the Parks and Recreation Committee.
I deeply value having a community welcome to all, and also one where those who make this a unique and wonderful place to live can afford to live. My passion to serve focuses on helping to create a City with affordable housing for every resident; in decreasing incarceration while increasing prevention and alternatives to the traditional justice system; and, encouraging an active small business and creative-industry rich economy.
I’m a WWU graduate with a degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminology, co-own a downtown live music venue, and play in a local band. I have lived in eight different Bellingham neighborhoods, all but one of those as a renter.
Additional boards that I serve on include Bellingham/Whatcom County Tourism, the Bellingham Tourism Commission, Downtown Bellingham Partnership, Sustainable Connections, and Whatcom Transportation Authority (WTA). I’ve also served over five years as a board member of Make.Shift Art Space.
