I fell in love with Golden the minute we drove onto Washington Avenue during a visit in 2017, and we made our move from the Pacific Northwest in the fall of that year.  I was very active in our small town of Carnation, Washington and wanted to curate a similar experience in Golden.  In our time living here, I've been involved in the local schools (Shelton Elementary and Bell Middle School!) and Golden Women in Business.  I believe that serving in our community makes us more strongly connected.

I am excited about meeting local businesses and helping to build those relationships with the Chamber.   Helping those business owners to develop their marketing strategies, encourage their community event involvement and engage them in our community is what the Chamber is all about.  Working in the community that I live in is special, just like Golden.  There is so much history to explore, diverse businesses to shop at, and best of all, its unique location nestled in the foothills is awe-inspiring.

Golden holds a special place in my heart, and I couldn't be more excited to strengthen the health and vitality of such a unique and beautiful community.

I am excited about serving the Golden community and Chamber members because it is a great area that has a variety of businesses and caters to different demographics.  There are many exciting things happening in the community and I feel fortunate to be a part of it.  I like working at the Chamber because of interaction with members and co-workers, as well as keeping accounting methods fresh and current.
