Dedicated to our Schools

I have had the pleasure of living in the Banks School District for over 50 years. My children were raised here and attended all 12 grades and went on to higher education. I began teaching in Banks in 1975, and have helped generations of students in Banks in their learning, and assisted them along the way to achieve success in life. I retired from teaching in 2019, and had the honor of being elected to serve on the school board the past four years.

I am running for re-election because education has always been a priority in my life, and I want to continue making sure our students get all they need to lead successful lives in their future.

My goals are to continue to ensure our students have a quality education, to support our administrators and staff and include the community in our decision making.

Dedicated to our Community

I believe volunteering is a way to help make strong schools and community. I so enjoyed holding offices in our PTO’s for all three schools, I continue to volunteer making sure our families have enough food and also for the holidays. I am a member of the Banks Chamber of Commerce working on community activities. Presently, I am volunteering in the first grade, helping Banks high school students create a documentary on our historic school, and am looking forward to teaching history to our third-grade students.
