She is a teacher in the Anchorage School District who has also worked in education around the state, including being a specialist in English as a second language, in Palmer and Kodiak.

The two complete the board upon the expired terms of members Keith Hamilton and Sandra Kowalski.

  1. A Christian educator? Good luck with that, with all the Godless commies and Jesus deniers watching over Dunleavy.

  2. Thank you Governor for taking time to thoughtfully and diligently fill our state boards and commissions with good people. We value you and all the work you do behind the scenes that may not get the attention it deserves. The State Board of Education is critical for our Alaskan youth. Your decision making is noticed and appreciated!

  3. Great. More Christian fascism. How long will it take before the great investigation media ProPublica unearths tapes of these two saying racist and homophobic crap in public? Dunleavy has a poor record of vetting employees and appointees.
