Profession:  Community Relations Administrator at Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System
                                   

Fellowship Track:  Future Candidate

Motivation: Over the years, I have learned how to run a winning campaign, but admittedly the losing campaigns taught me important lessons as well.  After working on a victorious mayoral campaign, I moved on to the other side of politics – public service.  Throughout my years in public service at the municipal and state levels, I have come to notice the inherent political undertones and impact of all government’s activities, making me stronger in my understanding of “politics.”  I remain dedicated to nurturing and growing that understanding, and plan to serve the public throughout my career.

Leadership Interests: Running for public office remains in the back of mind as a future goal.  However, at this time, I prefer a political career behind the scenes and aspire to serve one day as Chief of Staff for an Arizona Governor.    

CPL-AZ Mentor:  State Representative David Lujan; …also Chief Counsel for the Justice for Children Agency
