DENISE FARRELL
President
 
Denise has lived in Johnson Ranch for nearly twelve years and loves her neighbors, neighborhood, Arizona weather, and home (plus the relatively low property taxes here in Pinal County). As a board member, she strives to ensure accountability to homeowners from the board and management team, maintain property values, and refine the Association's communications. Denise has previously served on the Volunteer Workforce Committee and Nominating Committee and loves the opportunity to make a difference in her community.
 
Before committing herself to the Johnson Ranch Board of Directors, Denise has worked with the Pinal County Public Health Services District and for the Pennsylvania Department of Education. She loves to crochet, golf, play pickleball, and line dance — oh, and she adores her four-legged best friend, Murphy.
