With over 30 years in public health and substance use prevention I’m passionate about helping our community thrive. I coordinate local coalitions, work closely with partners to track youth trends in substance use and mental health, and teach classes that support and strengthen families. My favorite adventure is riding my horse in the beautiful mountains that surround us.

I have worked in Public Health since 2005. In my role I oversee our division’s role in improving the health and wellbeing of our community. I participate in our community drug prevention coalitions and facilitate evidence based classes. During the winter I love to go snowshoeing and during the summer you will find me on my paddle board or in my kayak gliding through our amazing lakes and reservoirs. 

As a Prevention Specialist at Wasatch Behavioral Health, I am passionate about helping young people thrive.  My expertise has allowed me to lead youth clubs that are focused on educating students about the dangers of substance use, mental health, and digital literacy. I also facilitate suicide prevention courses and support families through relationship-building programs. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and cherish any time that I get to spend with my family.​

I’ve been with the Wasatch County Health Department since 2020, and I love the work I do. As a Health Educator and co-chair of the Caring Community Coalition, I’m passionate about helping youth make healthy, confident choices. I support local Youth Prevention Clubs and work with community partners to promote substance-free living, leadership, and connection. I believe prevention starts at home—with strong relationships and healthy habits. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family.
