“Life-long learner” describes Misti and her passion for growth. Professionally, Misti is a published childrens’ book illustrator and trained artist as well as a podcaster (dmwatspodcast.com). Misti’s academic achievements include over 110 credit hours in psychology and several FEMA certificates in emergency management. A former member of the American Association of Christian Counselors with certificates in women’s counseling, children and families, and addiction, Misti is currently just a few months from completing her bachelor’s degree in Theology online at Liberty University.

Misti’s heart for helping others is evident in her long history of advocacy and service. Misti has advocated for children with learning disabilities and special needs, assisting fellow parents of children with IEPs or 504 plans, both in Kansas and Massachusetts. As a single mom, Misti rallied other parents to join her in lobbying local businesses to offer family restrooms for the safety and security of many. As a former small business owner herself, Misti understands the importance of listening to the voice of the people and making decisions that are right for many, not just one.

Misti would be honored to earn your vote for Kansas House Representative for District 82 in the general election on November 8th.
