I believe that early childhood foundations are critical. Preschool children’s brains develop at an astonishing rate as they make those first connections with who they are and how they perceive the world around them. This initial architecture is the foundation for all future learning. I am proud to serve an organization that understands that the leaders, inventors, philosophers, scientists, and artists that will shape our future come from all backgrounds. Giraffe Laugh helps ensure that all Treasure Valley children have the opportunity to grow into their best selves.
My husband and I live in Garden City with our two young boys. We enjoy exploring the Greenbelt and spending time in the mountains. After serving for over a decade in the public sector, I joined the law firm Smith + Malek where I practice Business, Real Estate, and Land Use law.
