Kimberly OlthoffKimberly is a graduate of FHSD and University of Cincinnati’s college of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. Kimberly’s career as a luxury retail store designer allowed her to travel the globe and live in many different areas of the US. Kimberly recently returned to Cincinnati with her husband Travis and two daughters, and chose Anderson/Newtown specifically for the school district. While getting acquainted with the district as a parent, she found information circulating regarding the school board to be scattered, incomplete, and hard to find in full context. One day on a walk with Sara Sudkamp, the idea for Advocate FHSD was born. When not designing, parenting, or advocating for FHSD, Kimberly can be found at the stables; either riding, or volunteering as a horse angel at Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship.

Sara and Paul chose to send their kids to FHSD because of the district’s reputation for providing high quality education, and thus far they have been happy with their experience.

Sara enjoys running, sewing and spending time with her family.

Sean MartinSean and his wife moved to the Forest Hills School District to start a family because of its stellar academic reputation and the smaller, neighborhood schools. He is a multimedia designer for a local arts organization, father of two Sherwood Archers. Regardless of affiliation, Sean would like school board members to work transparently, in a nonpartisan way, for ALL students and residents of FHSD. He believes in Ohios' Whole Child Framework and hopes advocating for transparency on behalf of FHSD students, staff and taxpayers will bring the community together.
