As a lifelong Idahoan, I love our Valley.

My husband and I grew up here, we are raising our children here, and it's my favorite place on earth. I've been a real estate professional for 15 years and my husband is an electrical engineer.

I love our small businesses.

Did you know? About every $0.68 of every dollar spent locally, gets reinvested in our towns, like Nampa, Kuna, Caldwell, and Meridian which means more jobs and more opportunities. Small businesses give teenagers their first job experience, make our main streets vibrant, and are the entrepreneurs who innovate and make our valley better.

Every month, I visit local, "mom and pop" shops to tell their story and talk about what they create, build, and provide.

If I'm being honest, I like to go to restaurants...because who doesn't like tacos or cupcakes?
