About Us

I was born, raised, and currently live in Upton, Utah.  I developed a passion for heritage and culture being raised on our family farm. In 2019, I retired after working 30 years for Summit County Government.  Mother of two boys and two grandchildren.  I am looking forward to being involved in NS Unite finding ways of linking our past to our future.

I love living in Wanship.  My favorites include my grandchildren, time in the mountains, theater productions, and good music. I recognize the important role that arts and culture play in enhancing the quality of community life and individual wellbeing.  Join us as NS Unite supports and creates artistic endeavors for all to enjoy.

Heather has been a community resident for

over 25 years. Originally from Florida, she

settled in Hoytsville in 2000. Heather brings

a wealth of knowledge in performing and

cultural arts, as well as professional

experience in business development,

finance, and leadership. Her love for theater

began as a child watching Broadway plays

and evolved into family interest as she and

her husband cultivated a love for theater and dance in their four children.

I am a lifelong resident of Summit County. Growing up and living in Henefer has been both a privilege and benefit to myself and my family. Because of my background in education, I've often been witness to the positive influence the arts and culture have in enhancing lives. There is an abundance of rich history in this beautiful valley as well. Through North Summit Unite, I am looking forward to providing opportunities to engage and connect community members to the joy of cultural events.

I became part of the Coalville community in 2007 when I married my husband, Jay.  I am a mom to two grown daughters, two grandchildren and part of a big blended Wood/Ison family.  I have a special love for the area's historic buildings and the stories they hold. I'm excited to work with NS Unite and help create a place to preserve, promote, and celebrate the unique culture of our area.
