Clinical and Rural Partnerships Administrator, WSU College Medecine
The University of Idaho brought Jade to Moscow, but the atmosphere and people compelled her to stay. As a mother of five, she loves living in an inclusive community where her children reap the benefits of big educational opportunities in a small town. Professionally she manages the Office of Clinical Affairs at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.
Professionally Jade splits her time managing the Office of Clinical Affairs at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine and supporting primary care physician graduate training programs (residencies) in the WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) region.
“Because of my work schedule I’m rarely able to volunteer in the classroom. But serving on the Board is something I can do to try to give back to the school that has done so much for my children and my family. It’s been so rewarding to see firsthand how the culture of putting the students’ needs first truly permeates every level of the organization.”

Why I chose to be a board member?
“Moscow Charter School has done so much for my kids that I was looking for a way to give back. Working in Pullman did not give me many opportunities to volunteer in the classroom but volunteering my time in the evening as a board member easily fit my schedule. Furthermore, I believe my background in engineering will bring further breadth of expertise to the board ensuring that Moscow Charter School can continue to specialize in STEAM education.”
