Member of the school board since December 9, 2019
Term Expires 2023I 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.
