QUALIFICATIONS

Please state your professional experience, community involvement, education, family successes and other qualifications for a school board position. Do you have children of your own? I started fighting against the implementation of comprehensive sexual education in the Battle Ground School District in 2018. I have actively fought for the rights of parents at the district level and in Olympia testifying before both of the education committees in the House and Senate. I led the signature gathering efforts on ref. 90 in Clark County, to repeal the K-12 Comprehensive Sexual Education mandate.

I was the director of the Washington chapter of Parents’ Rights in Education for 4 years and then was the Defender Care Specialist at the Family Policy Institute for 2 years. I have spoken numerous times to parent groups around the state including the Crisis In Education Summit in 2023. I started the

Conservative Caucus at the WA State School Directors Association and was instrumental in eliminating the weighted vote and bringing fairness in voting at the WSSDA General Assembly. I also assisted in the creation of Initiative 2181, the Parents’ Bill of Rights.

In 1992 I received a bachelor’s in art from Southern Oregon University and worked as a classified and emergency substitute teacher for the Battle Ground School District when my kids were in school. I have been married for 26 years and have 3 grown children.

POLICY POSITIONS

You may state here any policy positions you have in relation to the office you are seeking:

I believe parents are the first and primary educator of their children and it is the responsibility of schools to partner with parents in educating their kids.

I believe in a recommitment to teaching the basics in order to raise test scores and achieve educational excellence. I will work with the district to make sure every student is reading at grade level by 4th grade.

I believe we need greater transparency and fiscal responsibility.

I will work towards greater community involvement in our schools and better communication with parents and the public.
