She spent ten years serving on her local Environmental Advisory Committee, reviewing development projects for environmental impacts and has carried her environmental work into the Assembly as a member of the Environmental Conservation Committee. Within her first year in office, she had a role in banning plastic bags and securing substantial funding for clean water infrastructure.
