I will serve as a representative of families and answer to you first. Building a relationship with the people in Lyon’s Gate is an important part of being a board member. I promise to take my role seriously while upholding the values and needs of the people and the community.

As a government/economics teacher for 10 years, I held many leadership positions within my district. Civic service and fiscal responsibility were important topics I incorporated into every lesson. Being an HOA member is the perfect opportunity to serve and foster a positive connection with even more community members. After leaving teaching, I have found more time and a desire to serve.
