Prior to working for Commerce, I worked for the Department of Public Safety as a dispatcher for the Highway Patrol and other state agencies including Wildlife Officers, Adult Parole and Probation, Parks and Rec, and UDOT.

I am an Administrative Secretary. I provide administrative support to our team by interacting with the public in a professional and courteous manner, directing calls, maintaining and archiving records for both case files and land use training funds requests, and assisting in the day-to-day operations of the office. I also serve as the Board Secretary for the Land Use and Eminent Domain Advisory Board.

I like to spend time with my family and enjoy our weekly family dinner nights with my kids, sisters, nieces, grandkids, and the whole shebang and especially my mom. I have horses with their own personalities and I love to quilt and read.
My superpower is…
My superpower is service. I love being a Christian and like to help family, friends, and co-workers. I like to do work for charitable organizations and random situations in which a person needs assistance. I take the opportunity to “pay it forward” whenever I can.
