Mrs. Oregon International®

Sandra Herder

1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
I’m driven to make a difference. Teaching for 19 years, I’m passionate about helping children through the SMART program. Married for 20 years, we’re educators, active volunteers, and parents of two teenage boys. The International system honors these commitments, and there are unlimited opportunities to share, connect, and empower others.

2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
I had a life changing accident with over 100 stitches to my face—an experience that reinforced how truly blessed I am. I spent summers jumping off Waimea Bay’s rock in my native Hawaii, and I save earthworms that wash up on the concrete during rainy days.

3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
I stay mentally healthy by appreciating life and looking for the good in all things. I stay physically healthy by working out with my family and chasing Kindergartners. I also spend a lot of time shagging baseballs-- dad pitches, the boys hit, and mom shags. We are a baseball family!

4.What is the most random fact you know?
We raised our family with the golden words, “Respect and Teamwork.” Respect for yourself and your body, Respect for family and friends, and Respect for differences you encounter. Always valuing to work as a team that communicates, is honest, and supports each other in their endeavors.

5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
I spend endless hours creating and tweaking things. It’s rare I buy a dress, blouse, jewelry, or gown without adding or changing fringes, stones, style, or design. I just can’t leave it alone. My friends call it, “The Sandra Flair.” Oh, by the way, they sometimes work, and sometimes DON’T.
