"MJ" Mary Jane Gunlikson Thurston

My family moved to Washington State in June of 1985 from Billings so my husband, Jeff could attend the University of Washington in Seattle to obtain his Master's Degree in Nursing. He now has a private practice working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in our hometown of Lakewood, WA.

I also attended the University of Washington and graduated from The Evergreen State College in June 1989. I have two master's degrees, one in Education and one in School Administration. I retired from education June 2008 and am working for my husband's private practice now.
