About

I am a lifelong learner with a passion for Idaho’s natural landscapes and a deep commitment to public service. As a Funding Solutions Specialist at Merrick & Company, I help communities navigate complex funding landscapes and secure/manage water infrastructure financing. With a background in technical writing and communications from Boise State University, I strive to combine strategic planning with clear, compelling storytelling. Because at the heart of every successful initiative is a well-told story. I firmly believe that meaningful progress begins with listening deeply, collaborating openly, and staying rooted in service and community.
