Board of Directors

President

Landscape Designer and Consultant, Az 4-H Alumna

4-H was truly formative to my mindset and character. Teaching how to question and problem solve, set and achieve goals, persevere, work in teams, how to handle fear, failure and success.    4-H gave me a chance to explore topics and interests and discover my strengths and passions. I joined, to help "make the best better".

Vice-President

Az 4-H Alumna, U of A

I am fortunate to have been a 4-Her through college and served as an Intern at the National 4-H Council in D.C.  My passion for youth development and my deep sense of gratitude for all that 4-H has brought to my life, makes it an honor to serve as a 4-H Foundation Trustee.

Treasurer

Southern Arizona Director, Arizona Builders Alliance, 4-H Alumnus

Being a businessman and former State Representative, I grew up in 4-H and learned how to speak well in front of people. I worked hard on many different projects and exhibited them at the county fair. 4-H taught me so much and I’ve used it all. I think it is important for the Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation to support youth to learn career skills.

Secretary

4-H Leader, AZ Department of Transportation Office

I joined the foundation after seeing the impact that 4-H has had on my two daughters. Having an extensive background in the shooting industry, I believe 4-H shooting sports is a program that teaches kids how to safely handle a firearm and inspire those kids to learn how to be great leaders as adults.

The legacy of 4H and FFA runs deep in my family. I love that my two children are continuing the journey. Our family hashtags are #faithfamilyfarm and #thefarmthatraisedme. I am dedicated to continue to teach new generations not to judge each day by the harvest that is reaped but buy the seeds that are sewn.

As a 4-H alumna, I know what a great organization 4-H is and the importance of giving back. I am excited for this opportunity to be involved in 4-H again, serving on the scholarship and governance committees as a board advisor. On the weekends you can either find me hiking, visiting various libraries, or hunting murals in and around Tucson.
