My family moved to Gillette when I was six years old. I was raised in Gillette and educated in the Campbell County School System. I have been married to my husband Bruce for 43 years. My three children were raised in Gillette and attended Campbell County schools. Currently I have grandchildren attending schools in the district. I have a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Mary, and I retired a year ago from Campbell County School District with 24 years of service in business function areas of the district. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, traveling, and home renovations.

I retired from Campbell County School District with 24 years of service in the following areas:
•Six years in Human Resources–Experience in recruiting, training, teacher certification, and employment law.
•Eleven years in Finance–Experience in education funding and budget oversight.
•Seven years in the Superintendent’s Office working with administration and the Board of Trustees-Experience in education laws, duties and powers of the board, and open meeting laws.

I grew up in Campbell County and attended school there. Ihave a bachelor’s degree in Business from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota.

President of Fox Ridge Subdivision Improvement and Service District.

I believe our children deserve the most excellent education we can give them. Student education and well-being are my main focus. Although I retired from CCSD with 24 years of service, I want to continue to advance education in Campbell County. With budget limitations, it is important that spending be prioritized to obtain the most benefit to students. I have experience and knowledge in the business operations of the school district that I believe would be beneficial as a board member.

My top priorities are to:
•Provide a safe environment for students and staff including protection from external threats and bullying, and by maintaining procedures for suicide intervention/prevention.
•Recruit, train, and retain excellent staff;
•Encourage innovation, and equip students and staff with the tools they need to be successful.
