I have lived and worked in the Sandpoint/Clark Fork area for the past 25 years. I was born in Creston, British Columbia and was raised and homeschooled in rural Boundary County. Currently, I own and operate Tango Café in Sandpoint.

My interest in the Ethan Murray fund comes from my personal connection to Justine and Ethan, and having seen firsthand the struggles in finding support in mental health crisis and prevention. Having family members that struggle with mental health illness has helped me understand how much support and education is needed in our area and all over the world! I would like to see a mental health crisis center in North Idaho with education and rehabilitation for everyone. My vision is for a bright future for people with mental illness, including their family and friends.

I am the youngest of two sisters and one brother, and I strive to be the favorite aunt of two nieces and three nephews. I enjoy cooking with family and friends, hiking, camping, gardening, and of course, spending time with my dogs. My two dogs are Honey, a massive Newfoundland mix – and the biggest sweetheart – and Charlie, a lab mix rescue who is funny and nonstop!
