In 2019 my husband and I were named Volunteer of the Year by the Arkansas Community Foundation. We just received Community of the Year for Eureka Springs from the Municipal League because of our work at ECHO at ECHO Village.
I am an active member of my church -First United Methodist - and I am an ERT, emergency response trained volunteer. I go all over the state or country whenever disasters such as tornadoes, floods, hurricanes hit to help our neighbors in times of trouble. I have been to New Orleans 8 times and have helped with local and neighboring tornadoes as well.- Healthcare for all Arkansans

My mother has been my biggest hero. She came to this country from Chile not speaking the language and not knowing the culture. She brought me here to live in the greatest country in the world and she gave me such wonderful opportunities.
It is critical that we stop the hatred and vitriol in politics. It is important to work together and find common ground. There is so much that we share in common and far less differences. The name calling and the tribalism has to end. This is going to be our biggest challenge because there is so much work to be done. It will take a long time to undo all the damage that has been done. If we do not do this and govern with the idea that we are elected to only help people who think like us, then we are doomed to failure. It is only when we begin to see each other as human beings - not with labels - and work together for the common good will Arkansas be truly great.
