I graduated with honors from Kokomo High School (1986) and later, Indiana University (1992) where I studied Biological and Physical Sciences. I am currently preparing to enter an online Master's degree program.
During school years, I enjoyed participating in 4-H, which I attribute to increasing my interest in learning about a wide variety of subjects, especially veterinary science and leadership, serving as club treasurer, secretary, and president several years.
In order to supplement my scholarships, I became a dedicated substitute teacher during the day while taking classes in the evening. I value the experience for two reasons: teachers are underappreciated and college expenses today are too expensive.
Before graduating from college, I accepted a position in Research and Development at a world leading producer of high performance alloys. I later transferred my employment to become a United Steel Worker as a materials handler, machine operator, and union representative.
In 2000, I left factory work to pursue other interests -- writing, training horses, and real estate sales. My writing has been published in several outlets and earned a number of minor awards.
My volunteer activities include mental health and child safety advocacy and Master Gardener Interpretative Guide.- Quality public education is the foundation of a stable society. It is my goal to fully fund educators and support students.
- Rebuild rural communities by offering necessary and flexible solutions to independent farmers and agribusiness.
- Let YOUR voice be heard! I am listening to ALL voters in order to take your concerns to Indiana's General Assembly.
Support of Rural Communities and Family Farms
Expansion in accessibility of mental health services
Child Protection Services
Support of organized labor and collective bargaining
I first read this book as an assignment in 10th grade and it helped redirect the trajectory of my life. From the character Scout, I learned to be more fearless and be less shy. From Atticus, I learned patience and understanding. Calpurnia and Tom Robinson taught me that we must not rush to judgement about people different from ourselves. Boo Radley shows us that kindness takes very little effort and requires no acknowledgement in return. Finally, I learned that truth and the pursuit of it is essential.
2) A complete overhaul of the Department of Child Services.
3) Reversing the negative growth experienced by rural communities.
1) I believe that a candidate should be well-informed on federal and state civics to already have a working understanding of what the job demands.
