I was born and raised in Pendleton County and have been a resident of Falmouth since 1975. I am married to Jeff and have two sons, Chris and Alex(Brandi). I have one granddaughter, Adalyn. I have a BS degree in Education from EKU and Masters and Rank I from NKU. I have experience working with people since I taught in Estill County for 1/2 year, Logan County for 1 year, and Pendleton County for 30 years. I retired in 2005, but missed working, so I have been subbing for 18 years.

 

I enjoy being involved in my community, so I joined a group of concerned citizens to help promote Pendleton County by forming the Pendleton County Tourism Council. When my son Alex moved to N. Kentucky, I was selected to fill out his term on City Council. I’d already been attending most of council meetings and had some knowledge of what was going on in the city, so I decided to run for a full term in November of 2018. I’m currently serving my 3rd full term. I love this town and county and want to work with other groups in the county to help move our county forward. We will make decisions that may not be popular with everyone, but I hope people understand that some issues have to be resolved for the betterment of the community as a whole. Hopefully we can look back and see that these decisions were the right thing to do. I encourage everyone to get involved in taking pride in our community, volunteering to put on events and helping out when you see things that need to be done. Attend city council, fiscal court, and school board meetings to fin out what is going on. Instead of complaining, help us come up with solutions to problems.

 

I welcome you to continue me with your concerns. We cannot go back to what came before us, so we have to go forward and do the best we can to make our community better.
