Bio
As an elected representative on the Timberlane Budget Committee, I am committed to quality education with fiscal responsibility. My husband and I raised three accomplished children and very much value education for personal enrichment and the general good of the country, but money does not necessarily buy quality and I would like to see more academic accountability from the SAU level and school administration.
Before being elected to Budcom by write in on March 2012, I was on the Sandown Planning Board for four years, and am currently an alternate on the Sandown ZBA. As Thomas Jefferson said, "That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part." I firmly believe that participation in local politics is a duty of citizens who are able, as I have learned that unexamined power, no matter how remote or seemingly insignificant the matter, will end up hurting those who have ignored it. When not being profligate with my political capital, or writing, I can be found in my garden in unjustified optimism for future order.
