My Story

I've lived most of what I speak about. Addiction that started young, a felony record, and time incarcerated, where I had the first real season of sobriety I'd ever had as an adult and spent it tutoring other women and sitting in on every prison ministry meeting I could. I got out days before my daughter was born, lost my mother twelve weeks later, and kept going anyway. Green Guru Cleaning started as a way to make ends meet in the middle of all of it. Today it's a real, profitable business, proof to me and to my kids that starting over can turn into something good.

Advocacy

I've seen children in my life go through hard things with no one in their corner advocating for them, and it changed what I believe school and community are supposed to do. Access changes everything, whether you're four years old or forty, whether what's standing in your way is adversity you didn't choose or a felony record you can't shake.

Early Childhood Education

As a Parent Advocate for the Arizona Head Start Association and a Changemaker for the Children's Action Alliance, I work directly with the Arizona Legislature, pushing for equitable access to preschool and daycare. Closer to home, I'm a parent representative on the Policy Council at Child-Parent Centers, my local Head Start provider serving families and students across Southeastern Arizona. One seat's at the state level, the other's in my own backyard, but both are about making sure a parent's voice is in the room, not just a bureaucrat's.

Green Guru Cleaning

I run Green Guru Cleaning because I believe a business can treat its customers well and take care of the people behind it too. I also built CleanCompass, the software Green Guru runs on, from online booking and scheduling to billing and the app my team uses in the field.
