MY BACKGROUND AS A LIFE LONG WASHINGTONIAN.
|
I have been a lifelong resident of Washington state. My husband and I graduated from Prairie High School, and all three of our children went through the Battle Ground School system and graduated from Battle Ground High School. Throughout their education, I volunteered in their classrooms and worked as a classified substitute. For the past two years, I have served on the Citizens Advisory Committee.
I have a history of testifying before the legislature on bills that affect education and parents' rights. I have met with several law makers including representatives Jim Walsh, Vicki Kraft, and Monica Stonier.
In 2020 I had an integral role in connecting school board directors around the state who had the common goal of giving smaller districts a greater voice at the WA State School Directors Assoc. As a result this group was able to propose and pass an amendment to the bilaws discontinuing an inequitable voting system called the Weighted Vote and replace it with one vote per district.
