I have spent my career working for and with elected officials at all levels of government in a variety of capacities from staffer to advocate. It has given me a deep background in how to get things done that informs how I now personally carry forward the policy engagement and financial stewardship of our community on the city council.  Professionally, I’m the Director of Government Affairs for the law firm of Holland & Hart and oversee the firm-wide government affairs program for 8 western states. I’m a graduate of Westminster College, but perhaps more importantly I am also a graduate of Leo J. Muir Elementary, Mueller Park Jr. High, and Bountiful High School. In addition to my City Council responsibilities, I am currently involved in a number of other community organizations: 

​

• Chair of Board of Directors of Lakeview Hospital

• Commissioner on the Utah Outdoor Adventure Commission

• Board Member for the Utah League of Cities & Towns

• Board Member for the Westminster Honors College Advisory Board

• Board Member for the South Davis Recreation District

​

I am a life-long Republican and have served multiple times as a precinct chair, state delegate, and currently serve as a county delegate for my neighborhood precinct. I am a past Co-Chair of the Utah Business Coalition and past Chair of the Westminster College Alumni Board.

 

My husband, Michael O’Connor, teaches at Viewmont High School. In my free time, I’m most likely to be found outdoors. As a family, we are avid campers, mountain bikers, skiers, and hikers. Our dog, Ollie, comes along on outdoor adventures.
