I guess it's easiest to explain who I am by describing what I've done. I've earned a Bachelors degree in science, with an emphasis in math and physics. For fun I also earned a minor in English. I also have a Masters in Public Administration. I've worked as a nuclear electrician in the Navy, a middle school/high school mathematics teacher in public school, an educational content analyst and curriculum writer, and a homeschooling mom. So, that's what I've done. I guess the other part is - what do I believe in. I believe that people are innately good, though they sometimes get led down a bad path. I think children, when given gentle guidance, can thrive a lot better than they do in a rigid structure. I believe in using science and research to determine public policy. Finally, I guess to tell you about me, I have to tell you a little bit about my family. I live with my husband, father, son, two dogs and a cat. I guess that's it - now you know everything important about me....
