I began my career at Goodmans over 25 years ago in an entry-level customer service position. Throughout the years, I have had numerous opportunities to grow and learn by exploring various roles, including Sales, General Management, Design Management, Construction Management, Project Management, and Operations Management. In 2016, I was appointed Chief Operating Officer for Goodmans. In this role, I have the privilege of supporting all employees across our Phoenix, Tucson, and Albuquerque locations as we expand our business and deliver exceptional customer experiences.

I also serve on the Board of Directors for Goodmans’ non-profit initiative, Rooted in Good. This furniture repurposing program connects local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with used and refurbished office furniture that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

I am deeply passionate about helping people access quality education, believing it is the key to improving one's life circumstances. I am actively involved with Valley of the Sun United Way’s Women United Steering Committee and the Arizona State University Alumni Association Board and Council, both of which align with my commitment to education.

Originally from the Midwest, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Millikin University. After marrying my soulmate, David, in the mid-90s, we relocated to the Valley of the Sun. While working at Goodmans, I pursued an Evening MBA program at Arizona State University, obtaining my MBA in 2004. We have one child, Ashley, who also attended ASU and currently lives and works in Phoenix.

My leadership philosophy mirrors my approach to life: lead by example, support others, and encourage self-belief. I was honored by the Phoenix Business Journal as an Outstanding Woman in Business in 2019 and was a finalist for the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Athena Award in 2023.

Introduced to Arizona Business Leaders by Dr. Christine Wilkinson, I am thrilled about the opportunity to collaborate with other business leaders to improve our community. I look forward to serving on the education committee and contributing to its mission.
