I went to Omaha, Nebraska after I graduated. Grace Bible College and Omaha University. were the colleges I attended. My best education came from mentors who did well in their own businesses. I learned a lot from successful people. I started two business and after fourteen years sold my companies and moved to South Dakota to help care for my parents when they get older.
I started Home Health Agency in South Dakota. I have also been a legislative lobbyist for Concerned Woman for America. I also sit on the West River Sex Trafficking Task Force. Been married for thirty years, have two beautiful daughter, great son-in -laws. We have just had our first grandchildren and that is such a blessing.
We have been foster parents for teenage girls, took in foreign exchange students. Also had the opportunity to be youth leaders for our church, so we have always been very involved. I feel it is time for me to step-up and run for state legislator. I am hoping to keep South Dakota the way I remember it growing up. Of course we want economic development for our state, but I feel we can do that and still keep our freedoms, which are slowly being taken. Our children need to have Hope for their future.
I feel that "If we stand together, We win together."- Keeping our Freedom of Speech, The right to Bear Arms and the others
- Economic Development, would love to see our state more independent
- Parental Rights and Education

house and asking if she took time after school if I could get help with my speech.
She is one lady I looked up to now that I am older, because if it wasn't for her taking personal interest in
helping me, I would still have the speech problem.
This is the type of character I want to have. Helping people that need help and hoping you have made a difference.
Try and have a backbone when needed. Most of all, they need to know that a person truly cares what happens to them and this state.
I work well with others
I strive to succeed
I educate myself on things if I don't know something
For my family to know that I would do anything for them
I want people to say, that I was a giver and not a taker.
I would remember my dad saying that if we got invaded, he would try and figure out how to protect us.

The thing I struggle with, is to make time for myself and slow down some. I am worried if I slow, I will end back where I was when I was young, with nothing.
I think that is a struggle to know when to take time for myself. At times I put other peoples needs before mine and my family and that isn't always good.
I also feel that we need to be more independent as a state so we don't rely so much on other country's for our needs.
Drawbacks are, if you don't have people in office for the right reasons, people can be persuaded to pass bills because of something they have been promised, and that leads to personal gain, not what is best for the state.
Trying to do it all on your own makes you a person that doesn't think they can learn from another person.
Health
The hospital and staff treated her awful and her son. This lady and her son and family are the most amazing people I have met. She has so much love and strength, we could all learn from.
