Nelia Swayze

Nelia Swayze re-landed in Port Townsend 10 years ago after many years sailing with her family in the Pacific. She has a daughter in Port Townsend High School and wants to support innovative education in our schools that inspires our children to have an interest in learning.

Rebakah Daro Minarchek is an Environmental Sociologist and a faculty member at the University of Washington, Seattle. Her research and teaching interests include environmental justice, the politics of natural resource access, food systems, and environmental history. She lives in Port Townsend with her family and has two children in Port Townsend schools. When not teaching on environmental topics at UW, she enjoys exploring the forests, beaches, and waters of the area with her family and dogs. 

Heather Moore

Heather Moore landed in Port Townsend in 2022. After eight years living in Germany, first as Head of Strategy and Future Vision for Vodafone R&D and then starting a design practice in Berlin, she was drawn back to the Pacific Northwest to start Fire & Flow, a coaching and brand design business. She has a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University in Communication Design, attended THNK School of Creative Leadership in Amsterdam, and spent 25 years working internationally in Design and Branding. While at THNK, she introduced a Design Thinking Curriculum to public schools in the Netherlands via a pilot program for teachers. With a deep appreciation for diverse learning experiences and recognizing project-based learning and inspired teachers as formative in her early education, she is excited to help bring these opportunities to a new generation of students and families.

Sarah Fletcher Davis and her husband Beau were both raised here locally and now are raising their own kids, who attend Salish Coast Elementary. Sarah has a Bachelor of Exercise Science and a Medical Assistant degree. Education and community enrichment for our youth are important to the Davis family.
