I also have a bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in education. I have worked as a preschool teacher and a substitute teacher at Dufur school and have been a Dufur School parent for the last 10 years. My youngest child is in preschool now, so I will be present and involved with Dufur School for many years to come.

What is your understanding of the District’s obligations to comply with federal and state education policies?
We have an obligation to comply with federal and state education policies, and to hold our school to an even higher standard of exellence.
How would you address the issues facing the District’s schools that you consider the most urgent?
I graduated from this school district in the year 2000. I am now back with my children and family and want to be involved and help make this school the best that it can be. I love living in the small, conservative town of Dufur, and I want to be sure our school board represents our small, home-town values. I believe that schools and parents need to work together for the benefit of all students and that parental rights to be informed and involved should be protected.
