										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a native of Yankton and, as a third generation Coyote, received both my undergraduate and law degrees from USD. My husband, Alan, is also a Coyote. Our children, Ella (USD sophomore) and Theo (VHS sophomore), have benefitted from many wonderful teachers at Austin, Jolley, VMS, and VHS.</p>
<p>At USD, I coordinate Supplemental Instruction &amp; Tutoring and teach as an adjunct instructor in Political Science/Criminal Justice. Previously, for many years I served as director of an office supporting co-curricular programming such as service-learning, study abroad, and undergraduate research. I have volunteered extensively in VPS school classrooms, PTO, Junior Achievement, and VHS music. Alan and I have many teachers in our families, and appreciate the power of public education. I am excited to help grow the opportunities for students and teachers through the VPSF!</p>
