Evening Meetings
Daytime Meetings
Occupational Background
I work in education and have done the following:
Teaching English as another language in China, France and Japan. I have managed
student programs for International students and visiting scholars at the University of
Washington. I taught French to adults in the continuing Education program at Bellevue
College and most recently have taught middle and high school students in Bellevue

Educational Background
BA in French and ESL certification from Western Washington University

Reason for Applying
I grew up in the pacific northwest and see such value in our public parks and green
spaces. I hope to advocate and contribute to retaining and improving the parks and open
spaces that are available to our residents and community members and the next
generation. Additionally, I hope to be a part of educating and enabling Medina residents
on ways they can contribute to having a positive impact on our environment via the
plants in and care of their yards.
Relevant Experience
Our current property is large and predominantly full of native plants. I take pride in
maintaining the property and learning about how to help the native plants thrive. When
we purchased our current property, it had been neglected and invasive species such as
English Ivy and Himalayan blackberries were growing rapidly,. We have managed to

AGENDA ITEM 5.1
pretty much eradicate these invasives on our property- all this has lead to much educating
and learning about plants, natives and maintaining green spaces. Additionally, I took a
landscaping course at Bellevue College and organized a community lead cleanup of
Fairweather Park.
Community Involvement
I took the year off from teaching but have been an active volunteer at my children's
school. Additionally, I have been an active volunteer for an organization called Babies of
Homelessness and Seattle Humane Society.
