I am a business leader who has spent my career solving tough problems. I led complex systems projects at Accenture, owned and operated local technology consulting firms, and, most recently, served as CEO of a healthcare company. Recognized by Phoenix Business Journal as an Outstanding Woman in Business, I bring a pragmatic, principled approach to service and leadership. My husband, Dieter, and I have lived in this district for 25 years, and we raised our two daughters in our local schools. I currently serve on the boards of AZ Humane Society and the Phoenix Zoo (ACNC), and I am also a member of the Million Meals Club at St. Mary’s Food Bank. As a Clean Elections candidate, I accept no PAC money or corporate donations. I believe voters deserve practical, solutions-oriented leadership focused on the issues that directly impact our community and Arizona’s future.
  • Healthcare Access: As a former CEO of a healthcare organization, I understand how our system often fails patients, businesses, and healthcare providers. Arizona’s overall well-being depends on expanding access to quality, affordable health care, and I am committed to pursuing pragmatic, strategic solutions that deliver better patient outcomes, reduce provider burden, and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse.
  • Responsible Technology Policy: Artificial Intelligence is here, and it has already begun to change how we work, learn, and live. I have spent much of my career working in technology, leading technology companies, building systems, and watching this industry change nearly every aspect of our lives. I understand technology and will work with state leaders to develop strategic plans and put guardrails in place that protect our data, security, and resources, while also preparing our workforce and communities for the changes ahead.
  • Water Security: In the face of extreme drought and diminishing Colorado River water supply, Arizonans deserve leaders who will be guided by science and data to champion water technology innovation, implement conservation initiatives, and prioritize economic policy that enables growth without negatively impacting our water supplies. I have already met with stakeholders and experts across Arizona to better understand this complex issue and identify practical short- and long-term solutions.
Healthcare and Technology

Arizona Public Health officials report that nearly 3,000 Arizonans died from drug overdoses last year. We are the only state in the nation where overdose deaths are increasing. I have seen firsthand how our state's underinvestment in behavioral health care devastates lives, tears apart families, and weakens communities.

After decades in the tech industry, I know emerging technologies have extraordinary potential but technology without guardrails is not innovation. It's recklessness. Now is the time to advance policy that protects our children, our individual data security, our resources, and prepares our workforce for the economy of the future.
My father is my greatest role model. He survived some of the darkest chapters of World War II, the Bataan Death March and nearly four years as a POW. He returned home from these formative experiences determined to build a life of purpose and opportunity.
As a poor young man from Pittsburgh, higher education would have been out of reach without the GI Bill. The opportunity provided by that program changed the course of his life. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in physics and went on to become a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. My dad’s story taught me that education can transform lives, that hard work and perseverance can overcome extraordinary obstacles, and that true leadership is grounded in humility. Despite everything he endured and accomplished, he never sought recognition. He simply believed in doing the work and leaving things better than he found them. Those are values I strive to live by every day.
We deserve practical leadership focused on solving our state’s most pressing problems, not scoring political points. Too often, partisan politics and special interests stand in the way of common-sense solutions to the challenges families face every day. As a Clean Elections candidate, I am not accepting PAC or corporate money. That independence allows me to focus on what matters most: listening to neighbors, understanding their concerns, and working to improve their lives. Good ideas don’t belong to one political party. The best solutions come from listening respectfully, working collaboratively, and staying focused on results. My commitment is to bring a pragmatic, independent voice to the Legislature that puts community needs ahead of politics.
