APPOINTED: ❑ Yes 3 No TERM EX Professional/ Community Activities (organizations, clubs, service groups, etc.); I served Tukwila's Parks Department as a volunteer Commissioner for five years, as Chair for two. The other Commissioners shared my concern that all the residents of Tukwila- -not just members of this or that special interest or sports group -- should get full benefit from our fine parks system, and that we should improve and sustain it for posterity. I belong to the Northwest Scale Modelers, which provides the Museum of Flight with educational displays and material. I contribute to every quarterly special display to interest and educate guests about important aviation- related history. I produced two recently, about WW2's `Battle of the Atlantic', and `MiG Dynasty', explaining Russian airpower from 1941 to the present day. I've been with local church St. Thomas Parish since I moved here in 1988, supporting it financially, with my computer expertise, and in seasonal drives for clothing and toys for less privileged members. I also support Catholic Community Services, whose many programs serve Tukwila residents, as well as others in the greater Seattle area. Hobbies /Interests: Besides my work as computer consultant and instructor, I pursue various computer - related functions and applications as a hobby. I ride bicycles for recreation. As noted above, I build model airplanes (both tabletop `static display' and flying models), spacecraft, and other vehicles, and tie these builds in with study of the history of technology. Qualifications as related to this position: [LibraryAdvisory Board] As noted in the first section, I've served on the Parks Commission. My work career required working on a wide variety of tasks with a wide variety of people: from customers at bike shops, students at two community colleges, and a wide variety of computer users, from novices to technological sophisticates, including medical providers and company owners and managers. I established good working rapport with all, and with other Commissioners at our meetings. I feel I can always work with others and serve the City of Tukwila and its citizens. Increasingly, the library system and its resources are computerized and tied into the Internet. My Information Technology experience and expertise would be useful to the Board and library users, such as understanding how to find, draw in, and use data from a multitude of sources. During the last two years, especially, I've been heavily dependent on library resources and learned a lot about the system's capabilities, a few of its weaknesses, and its enormous potential to help all its users. Other comments / additional information for consideration: Politically, I owe no economic entity or pressure group nor have excessive devotion to any political party or philosophy. Ideologically, I stick close to the middle -of -the -road. Economically, I'm neither wealthy nor poor, having had income near the median, and now being near - retired. I understand and identify with the economic challenges that nearly all Tukwila's citizens face in trying to live the good life. Intellectually, I have always sought to broaden my knowledge and expertise, and in all my work, while I've never known all the answers, I've been able to find them. n Y `r City of Tukwila Tukwila City Hall 6200 Southcenter Blvd Tukwila, WA 98188 Phone: (206) 433 -1800 Fax: (206) 433 -1833 • • • i •,G�� ANIMM Website: r Appointment COMMISSIONS KtL;ti Vtu Please complete the ENTIRE application form.

Qualifications as related to this position: Dual degrees in landscape architecture and environmental horticulture /urban forestry provide a strong blend of scientific knowledge combined with its practical application in both natural and human - altered environments.

Horticulturally, I have worked in varied environments including both wild -lands and world -class botanic institutions; doing everything from germinating plants in the nursery to maintaining mature plantings. The wide variety of local and international work experience in my background confers broad fluency with not only diverse park environments themselves, but also their governing bodies, visitors and practicalities. Other comments /additional information for consideration: I have both broad and deep roots in this region. Not only was I born and raised in the greater Seattle area, my husband whom I met in junior high and all our of large extended families were raised here as well. Additionally he is a tribal member and Kent police officer. We have owned our nearly 100 year old Tukwila home since 2003 and enjoy raising our children here, one of whom can make the rare assertion that she was literally born in Tukwila! When I was a girl, my father took me to see the carpentry work he was doing on the renovation of Foster High School. This community matters a great deal and I value offering my time and talents in its service.
