Kathleen’s Bio
I am honored to be elected to the Fern Ridge School District Board and to contribute to the continuing work of the district to “provide excellence for every student so that each will reach their greatest potential!” As an educator in this community for over 5 years, I am passionate about education and the opportunities that learning provides. Along with my husband, who is a police officer, our family is the epitome of public service.
I was raised just outside of Myrtle Point, Oregon, and graduated from Powers High School in 2006. Upon high school graduation I attended Southwestern Oregon Community College and while playing basketball, received an Associate of Arts degree in Business Management in 2008. I then transferred to Eastern Oregon University to continue playing basketball and later graduated in 2010 with a dual major Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Resource Management and Business Administration. I met my husband shortly after graduation and we moved to Lane County in 2012. After completing my Master’s in Education, I was hired by FRSD as a 6th grade math/science teacher at the middle school, and I continued to teach there until 2021.
Our oldest daughter is currently a third grader at Elmira Elementary and our youngest will be in kindergarten soon. With kids currently enrolled in the district, I have a vested interest in student’s educational opportunities and experiences and am looking forward to being a part of it. In addition to teaching, I enjoy coaching and being an active part of my community. I excitedly look forward to this new adventure and I can’t wait to get to work representing our students, staff, families and community members.

It is an honor to serve the students, families, teachers /staff and community of Fern Ridge School District. I have always believed that all children should be able to get a great education from our public school system. I am excited and it is my pleasure to be part of a team that that can make a difference in the lives of our kids, our schools and community.
In 1990 we flipped a coin. Heads its Oregon. Tails its Colorado. Yes, it landed on heads and off we were. Our family was off to a new adventure. We love this little community of ours.
My husband and I have been married for forty plus years. We have 2 girls who are now grown with their own families. Both of our girls have gone through the Fern Ridge school district from Kindergarten to High School graduation. We have been blessed with 6 grandchildren. Two live out of state but 4 are here and attend the Fern Ridge school district. I am invested in our schools and community.
I have always been involved and active in the lives of my children, grands and kids in our community. Some of the activities I have been involved with is P.T.A. president, class volunteer, Gold Card Night, O.H.S.E.T, and basketball coach.
I have taught EEC, Early Childhood Education for the past 40 years. Twenty-five plus of those years have been in our community as the director/teacher at Kid’s Akademy. What wonderful years they were! Presently I am retired after having both knees totally replaced. It was not my plan to retire but I do believe that things happen for a reason. On to new adventures.
