Elected Experience: I immigrated to the United States from Scotland in 1983 with my two sons, and all my worldly possessions in six suitcases. I began working with the local elementary school as a way to integrate into the community, and I volunteered for additional curriculum activities. I combined work, school, family, and taking care of the home. I have traveled throughout Europe, Canada and the United States, and I lived in the Netherlands for one year. I proudly became a US Citizen in 1992. I embrace diversity in all cultures and sub-cultures.
