Erika Starks

I am a native Washingtonian and moved to Sequim in 2005.  I attended the University of Washington where I received a degree in Psychology and Secondary Teaching Certification.

I had the opportunity to be an educator and coach at Seattle Lutheran High School for seven years.  While there I taught Social Studies and English, created a peer counseling training program and coached boys' and girls' golf.

A unique opportunity presented itself and I became a member of the Professional Golfers' Association of America.  For almost 10 years, I was fortunate to work at a variety of facilities and meet some interesting people.  Besides all the great experience and skills I received, I also served on the Western Washington Chapter Board of Directors and served as the Assistants' and Orientation Chairpersons.  I am still a card carrying "retired" member of the association and when time allows, I still volunteer to assist in local PGA tournaments and events.

I wanted to have a positive impact on the community and believed the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center Board of Directors would be a perfect fit for me.  I have been on the Board since the spring of 2007.  When not at SARC, I enjoy hiking, cross country skiing, mountain biking and golf.
