Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a graduate of Simpson College with a B.A. in Environmental Science and Biology. My husband and I have lived in rural Mahaska County since we were married 28 years ago. When we began having children, we understood the importance of strong families and stable homes, so I placed my career on hold to be a stay-at-home mom. Years turned in to more years and now I look back at two decades of a lifestyle involving faith, family and education. Along with being a mother and grandma, I have worked as the Mahaska County Conservation Board Naturalist, served as a Mahaska County 4-H Organizational Leader, and poultry superintendent/youth judge throughout the state of Iowa. I tutored elementary science for ten years with Classical Conversations and have taught private high school science classes to homeschoolers for six years. I am a homeschool mom, life-long Iowan, and grassroots leader. I am currently the chairwoman of the advocacy group, Protect My Innocence, which exposes and pushes back against sexualization of Iowa’s children.
