About Nancy

Educator. Realtor. Neighbor.

I’m not running because I believe I have all the answers. I’m running because I know how to listen, learn, connect people, ask questions, and work toward solutions.

I believe Bella Vista’s greatest resource isn’t a building, a road, a lake, or a trail. It’s our people. When we listen to one another, learn from one another, and work together, there is very little we cannot accomplish.

What I bring to the table

  • A teacher’s heart

    For 22 years as an educator, I helped people identify possibilities, overcome challenges, and work toward a better future.

  • A Realtor’s problem-solving skills

    I listen, negotiate, communicate, solve problems, manage complex situations, and help families make decisions that can affect them for generations.

  • A connector’s ability to build partnerships

    As a community member, I naturally connect people and ideas — bringing people to the table around shared goals.

  • A resident’s love for Bella Vista

    Those experiences have prepared me to serve with curiosity, compassion, common sense, and a willingness to do the work.
