As a single parent, I have raised two boys into wonderful young men. Working for over 20 years helping women in crisis and building strong organizations to serve others, I have committed to volunteering my time to support projects close to my heart. Currently, I am working on a PhD in Intercultural Education, and have a M.A. in Organizational Leadership ('02 ) from Biola University, a B.A. in Communication Studies from UCSB ('89) and two credentials for Single Subject
Teaching in California - English and Social Studies. I am passionate about issues facing us individually and as a nation, but am even more passionate and committed to serving my Savior.
