In addition to her local service, Edon served on the Utah PTA's Legislative Advocacy Committee, which shapes the state PTA's positions on key education legislation. She is a firm believer in giving parents a voice in public education and making policy decisions that reflect community values.
Professionally, Edon serves as the Director of Development for Little Hands Can, a grassroots nonprofit that creates service opportunities for young children and their families.

Edon holds a Master’s Degree in Human Relations and Business from Amberton University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Utah. Her global perspective has been shaped by time spent volunteering in Hong Kong and living for two years in Guadalajara, Mexico, where she deepened her appreciation for multicultural communities. She is conversational in both Cantonese and Spanish.
Edon’s commitment to education was inspired early on by her mother, a high school theater teacher and counselor for more than three decades. That foundation instilled in her a deep love for learning, the arts, and student well-being.
Outside of her professional and volunteer work, Edon is a certified Master Gardener and a certified yoga instructor for both adults and children. She strives to bring calm, balance, and intention to everything she does and hopes to bring that same thoughtful energy to the school board.
