Meet Elizabeth

I'm excited to share my journey and vision as a candidate for Oro Valley Town Council. My life has been dedicated to service, community, and making a positive impact, and now I'm eager to extend that commitment to representing you.

As a Farmer's Market Vendor running Elizabeth's Garden since 2009, I have learned the value of hard work, local connections, and the importance of community support. Additionally, since 2017, my experience as a Classified Substitute at Amphitheater Public Schools has given me insight into the challenges facing our education system.

I proudly served in the military for 13 years, with roles ranging from Captain in the United States Army Reserve to Intelligence Officer in the United States Army, and as a Second Lieutenant in the North Carolina National Guard. My service included leadership positions in Germany and Arizona.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University, where I gained a solid foundation for critical thinking and problem-solving. My involvement in various volunteer roles demonstrates my dedication to community wellbeing and fiscal responsibility including:

  • Treasurer for the Canyon del Oro High School Parent Teacher Organization

  • Parent/Committee Member/Treasurer/Merit Badge Counselor for Boy Scout Troop 248

  • Rescuer/Board Member/OEC Instructor with the Southern Arizona Rescue Association

  • Treasurer for the Alpine Highlands Homeowner Association

  • Treasurer for the Mesa Verde Elementary Parent Teacher Organization

  • Parent/WEBELOS Den Leader/Camping-Outdoor Coordinator/Treasurer for Cub Scout Pack 211

  • Rescuer with the Cochise County Search & Rescue

I am committed to representing your interests and bringing my diverse experiences to the Oro Valley Town Council. I will focus my efforts on maintaining a safe community, responsible development & land use, supporting recreational open space, and protecting our assured water supply. Together, let us build a future that reflects the values and needs of our community!
