Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born and raised in a small town called Haines, Alaska. From there I traveled to Jamestown, North Dakota where I went to College and studied English Fine Arts in Theatre.

I became a Montana citizen in May of 2017. I currently work as a CNA at St. Josephs Medical Center in Polson, Montana.

I love being outside in the great Montana wilderness. I am an avid hunter and go every year with my Dad and Grandfather, time with whom I cherish deeply. This is truly God's country. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful state.

A few of my hobbies include beekeeping, and gardening. Beekeeping has been a fun and wholesome experience. Only been stung once... so far. Gardening is so much fun. Its something that I love to do with my Grandmother. Little does my Grandmother know I have planned out her entire yard. Don't tell her. My favorite plant/flower has to be Lavender. There is so much that you can do with lavender. Laundry sachet? Lavender. House ornamental? Lavender. Felling stressed? Lavender. It's my dream to one day have a lavender and flower farm. With an orchard. And bees. In Montana... Heaven! (I digress)

Magnificent are the dreams we are allowed to pursue in our beautiful State in our wonderful Country.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I will De-regulate business and allow the free market to be freeI will write criminal reform legislation, keeping non violent drug "criminals" out of our jails absorbing our tax dollarsI will vote for a budget that decreases taxes and balances

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

While i feel strongly about criminal reform and decreasing taxes, I am most passionate about protecting and freeing the government oppressed market. New businessmen, farmers, and ranchers are faced with excruciating start up costs and taxes that put an unnecessary burden on the business man and the market. Ranchers, Farmers and Small businesses, and big businesses should be allowed to run their business their way the way that they see fit. This fosters innovation and growth not only to the businesses themselves but to the economy as a whole. It saddens me when I see a new farmer, rancher, or businessman flop at startup costs because of business regulations. costs that are easy for the established big business to cover, not so easy for the new businessman. I want to de-regulate the businessman, the rancher and the farmer so that they can create a product of their own volition. Let the free market undo what crony capitalism has done to damage this state and our country. This creates more innovation which creates more jobs and stimulates the economy. Government interference only prevents innovation and new ideas.
