I am honored to be a board member for Utah’s Bicycle Collective. I sought collaboration with the Collective in 2015 after realizing that the opportunity to own and enjoy a bicycle wasn’t equitable in my Southern Utah community. Many volunteers came together and made it clear that St. George was ready for a community bike shop and we opened the doors to our brick and mortar location in October 2017. I have a degree in Sociology/Anthropology from Southern Utah University. I’ve chaired and been involved in many community projects over the years and believe a little community involvement goes a long way. My husband and I own a commercial mechanical contracting business in St George. I have 4 kids, a dog, a horse, a garden, a podcast addiction, and a garage full of bikes. I hope to live to see the day when cycling in Southern Utah is not the outlier mode of transportation but one of the norms.
