I have taught for 33 years in Davis County, all of them at Central Davis. I have also been a resident of Kaysville for 33 years. I am a graduate of Bountiful High School and later Southern Utah University (then, Southern Utah State College); I have been a member of the United Teaching Profession for 33 years and an Association Representative for about 16 years or so. Recently, I have been a delegate to the NEA Representative Assembly, UEA House of Delegates, DEA Political Action Committee, and serve as the DEA representative on the UEA Political Action Council.I am a committed advocate for kids, teachers, and the important role the arts play in education. Our association is the platform to help move these things along. I never thought 33 years ago that I would be so involved in these causes. I can’t stand idly by and see all we have fought for be gradually eroded away. You as committed members of our association need to stand for the principles that have guided in the past and still guide our organization today: “A GREAT PUBLIC SCHOOL FOR EVERY CHILD!”
