Education

Civic Involvement

My civic involvement spans the community -- from seniors to education, from transportation to the environment, and from housing to the arts.  Just as the needs are diverse, so too is my willingness to participate wherever I am needed. My experience began as a PTA mom, grew to include service on the Lutheran Alliance To Create Housing (LATCH) Board, Senior Services of Seattle/King County Board, and the Steering Committee for the Northshore Senior Center Capital Campaign, and now is captured in my service as State Representative.

Civic Involvement

My community involvement started at a young age with being a candy striper at Northwest Hospital and has continued on with trail cleaning, highway litter patrol, arts, and currently a Board member on the City of Bothell Parks and Recreation Board and the Washington Association of Sewer and Water Districts.  This variety of experience in the community whether with parks and rec. or sewer and water provides a regional perspective needed on the King County Council representing the 1st District.
