About Me

I live in Utah and am originally from Maryland.

My husband, Tom King, and I are co-founders of Blue Sky Institute, a grassroots educational organization focused on peace and justice and social justice issues.

I am committed to the peace movement, which involves being active in a variety of ways.

I believe that everything is connected to the larger issue of "justice" - peace, environment, human rights, etc. Through my personal lifestyle, activist activities and involvement in Green Party politics I am working hard to put into place a channel for continuing advocacy for justice on our planet.

Tom wrote this pledge for Blue Sky Institute. It's "copy left", so please feel free to use it and attribute it to Blue Sky Institute:

I pledge allegiance to all life
in its interdependent diversity;
and to the Planet upon which it exists,
one World, under the sky, undividable
with harmony and balance for all.

I am a prolific blogger and have accounts on Live Journal, Facebook and Twitter.

I have been in public school education for 25 years and hold a B.A. in Music Education and M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction and hold licensure in music and special education.

I am the Director of Educational Support Services at a public charter school in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah called City Academy, educating students in grades 7-12. I am also the Service Learning Coordinator there.
