Tell us a bit about yourself….

I consider myself a strong advocate for public service and volunteerism.  I am currently employed by the State of Wyoming within the offices of the District Court.

Prior to my current position, I served nine years as Deputy Sheriff at the Sweetwater County Detention Center and previously owned and operated a small business that provided services within Sweetwater County.

Throughout my adult life I have volunteered for the Sweetwater County School District #2 as a Surrogate Parent, Special Olympics, Girl Scouts, Flaming Gorge Days Committee, Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run, Shop with a Cop, Trona Valley Credit Union Supervisory Committee and currently serve on the Board of Directors of Trona Valley Credit Union.


What makes you the best choice for the Clerk of District Court?

I have a solid background in business management, public service, and an extensive working knowledge of legal procedures.

I have daily interaction with the Office of Clerk of District Court and possess hands-on knowledge of the office’s case management system as well as the numerous functions performed within the office.

I embrace challenges and continually strive to streamline my environment.  As a Deputy Sheriff, I was instrumental in starting the Inmate Community Service Program and developing the Field Training Officer Program for Detention Deputies.

During this same timeframe, I advanced my rank from Deputy to Corporal to Sergeant. I don’t settle for doing things the way they’ve always been done.  I am a forward-thinker and continually evaluate and develop efficient ideas to improve my surroundings.

I am confident that my leadership and organizational skills will bring effective changes that will assist our judges, our legal community and our citizens equally.

Public Service has always been at the heart of what I do best.  I am passionate about the residents and the communities within Sweetwater County.

I am not a politician – just a life-long resident that wants to provide exceptional, accurate and resourceful services to everyone.


What do you hope to accomplish in the first year as Clerk of District Court?

Working with staff to streamline duties and procedures and providing appropriate cross-training are at the top of my list.

Due to the number of files handled in this office, together with the number of individuals who have access to those files, a file tracking system is essential to properly maintain the location of court records.

At the same time, and as your Clerk of District Court, I will implement a file auditing system to assure that staff is accurately entering case information since that data will become the foundation of the new electronic filing system.
