I've been involved in the arts and an avid supporter for much of my life. I moved to the Heber Valley in 2005 and immediately got involved in live theater at Timpanogos Valley Theatre and the Heber Valley Railroad Polar Express. I enjoyed attending gatherings that offered opportunities to meet other involved arts locals. In 2014, the County Arts Council was being rebooted and I saw the opportunity to join the new board and provide support to the varied county arts groups. I have served on this board for over 12 years and appreciate the many amazing talents here in our valley.
