Personal Biography
Three decades of experience as a public school K-12 and college counselor. Licensed Professional counselor and adjunct professor at FHSU.
Education
Attended Fort Hays State University. B.A. Sociology, M.S. Counseling, Ed.S. Educational Leadership
I have the leadership qualities to listen to all constituents. As a public school counselor, my job was to mediate and listen to all sides.
1. Economic Growth-Develop policies that promote businesses and maintain the necessary infrastructure and services that create long-term growth.
2. Healthcare-Support access to affordable healthcare, including mental and reproductive health to protect bodily autonomy.
3. Education-Investing in high-quality public education by fully funding special education and keeping public dollars in public schools.
I would encourage that there are always two sides that are allowed to provide testimony and provide a reasonable amount of time for advanced notice of crucial legislation. Authors and special interests of bills should also be available to the public. Contents of a bill should be directly related to that specific bill. Bills should be transparent.
I would support more drop boxes and additional polling places if needed. I would also support legislation that would assist the postal service with postmarking ballots in rural areas or areas with slower service.
