I enjoy working with people that want to make Fruitport Community Schools, in all aspects, the absolute BEST it can be! I am very proud to have served on the Fruitport Board of Education in many capacities since 2001.

Being a Fruitport graduate, I've always had pride in being a Fruitport Trojan.  I enjoy serving my community and want to help ensure our kids have a safe, encouraging and nurturing setting to grow.   I believe Fruitport is one of the best districts around and I'm honored to be serving on its school board.

I am passionate about serving my community and am honored to do so on the Fruitport Board of
Education. As a strong advocate for public education, I am proud of our district’s ability to
facilitate rigorous educational experiences within a deeply nurturing environment. My goal is to
help ensure all children in our district receive an exceptional education and leave Fruitport
Community Schools prepared to be visionary citizens and life-long learners.

I have always had a passion for learning and I personally understand the equalizing value of a good education.  After moving to Fruitport in 2001, I have embraced the community and am proud to call it home.  I truly believe our town and our schools are on the verge of greatness and will be a destination district in the years to come.

Bio coming soon...

Fruitport is the shining "castle" on the hill. I started attending Fruitport in 1967 as did my husband. We both graduated in 1981 and married in 1982. Both of our children also graduated from Fruitport and currently we have a granddaughter attending. I loved Fruitport so much that my dream job was teaching in our district. I was able to commit 30 fantastic years teaching at Edgewood and now am semi retired. Being a part of the School Board has become the icing on the cake. I knew I couldn't just walk away from this district that I love and treasure. I've always believed that Fruitport stands out because we maintain the small town feel while providing big town excellence. Besides being a board member, I enjoy other activities. For down time I love to play co-ed softball, water ski, hunt, fish, work on my most recent children's book, read and have even recently learned to knit and crochet. It's an honor to have been elected to our school board and I'm committed to continuing the good work of our district.

I ran for the Fruitport School Board because I wanted to make sure our kids were thought of first in all decisions that needed to be made now and in the future.  I have found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences I have had. My most favorite part is seeing the work of our students whether it is on the field, on the stage, in an arena, or presenting before the school board. I take great pride in Fruitport and take every opportunity to promote our school system to others.
