    I have spent most of my life in Othello. My husband and I both attended grade school
    here and later graduated from Othello High School. We raised our children in Othello and
    now I am proud and lucky to have my grandchildren growing up and attending school
    here. Robert and I own and have operated a family farm in the Othello area for the past 30
    years. I have enjoyed volunteering for about 40 years in our community. Mostly with youth
    programs but also heading numerous other projects like the community parade. I also
    volunteered in the schools for 26 years which lead me to keep in touch with the growth of
    our schools and childrens education.

    I wanted to join the school board after having listened and observed what is going on in
    our schools and found that I would like to have the opportunity to be more involved in the
    impactful decisions. My goal is that we provide an equitable education for all our students
    and provide them with the best education for when they leave Othello School District as
    citizens of our world.
