• Provo: Provo resident, owns property in Provo.

I also value the opportunity to build stronger connections with people across Provo, and to foster collaboration and unity among our neighborhoods. By stepping into this role, I hope to contribute to a community that feels welcoming and supportive for everyone.
• Goals: My goal is to represent our neighbors and their interests in a way that ensures our voices are heard and our community's needs are addressed. While I acknowledge that I’m still learning about our neighborhood and its issues at hand, I am eager to get involved.
