Being involved in the community I live and work in, have always been important to me. As a native to the Willamette Valley and current resident of JanRee, I have deep roots here and I am committed to our community. It has been my pleasure to participate over the years, as a volunteer for the 24J Salem Keizer School District. I was proud to support my 12 year old daughter as she lead the charge to get Salem named "Playful City USA", and equally humbled by the support and leadership our community extended to her cause; it is unprecedented and very appreciated…just one more reason I love where I live. I also volunteer on the Government Affairs/Political Action Committee for my local board of Realtors.
