After living in California and Montana, I have called Laramie home for the last 19 years. I have been on the ACSD#1 School Board since 2018 and have served as Treasurer, Vice Chair, and Chair. I have a blended family with 5 teenagers, ranging in ages from 13 to 16. Most of my time outside work and school board duties is spent running around to watch them in their sports and activities. I have worked for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for the last 19 years and currently supervise a statewide aquatics crew. I feel incredibly lucky that my kids are being educated in ACSD#1 and am grateful to serve on the school board.

Laramie has been my home for 46 years. My four children were all born and raised here. They all received an excellent K-12 education in ACSD #1. It is an honor to serve on the School Board. I enjoy representing our community while advocating for students and educators. I began my school board work with an appointment in 2004. I ran for election in 2006 and have had the privilege to serve since them. I am so appreciative of our outstanding district wide staff who work every day to provide excellent educational opportunities in safe, supportive schools.

I taught in Thermopolis from 1980-94 where I met Rozanne Bothe, and we have been married for 43 years. Our two children both attended school in Laramie from Kindergarten through graduation. I have been extremely fortunate to have been the Principal of Velma Linford Elementary (5 years), and an Athletic Director/Assistant Principal (1 year) and the Principal of Laramie High School (14 years). I also taught at Laramie Community College. I was elected to the School Board in 2020, and I love serving the educational community of Albany County.

I've been on the board now for over a year and I'm grateful to be serving in this role. Outside of being a board member, I'm a mom of a preschooler and work at the University of Wyoming in the counseling center. I am a Wyoming Native from Fremont County and graduated from the University of Wyoming. Wyoming's outdoor spaces, especially the mountains, are where I spend most of my free time, and the small welcoming community here feels like the best place to raise my family.
