After growing up in Kansas and living all over the world, I chose Boulder as a place to heal after the sudden death of my husband. I found an abundance of nature’s healing with hiking trails and restful natural spaces, caring, open-minded people, healthful living, and a spiritual sensitivity. Through my involvement in music and higher education, I have not only healed but I have been welcomed into
the community. The things that have attracted all of us to this incredible place can continue to attract students and newcomers to Boulder. However, our community must continue to innovate and change in order to keep the spirit that created Boulder. Balancing the historic with the new has always been the challenge and will continue to be. I am running for City Council because I want to serve my community and keep Boulder one of the best cities in the world. My high tech background has given me good listening skills and critical thinking which I will use to gather greater diversity of opinions and fully vet positives and negatives of potential projects. I believe we can be more balanced and inclusive in our approach, and that we shouldn’t shut the doors of our city to new people or ideas. I bring expertise in business, both high-tech and entrepreneurship, and I have a great deal of knowledge about potential housing solutions. I will bring a forward-thinking, pragmatic, fact-based approach to my service at the Boulder City Council.
