​I was born and raised in Washington. I am a dog mom of two loving pups, Jasper (jack russel terrier) and Jedi (pitbull/lab). I love trying new restaurants and going to the movies. I have a deep appreciation for the arts and I love experiencing the various forms and the impact it can make. I have worked for Boys & Girls Club of South Puget Sound for almost four years which lead me to my passion in youth development. I strive to support and empower our young people to believe and achieve.

​“I have been working alongside youth since 2008 and have had the pleasure to meet some many wonderful people! My work constantly challenges me, allowing me the opportunity to continue growing. It also keeps my energy high and my vibes positive! In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my dog, Koda, who is a 115 pound Alaskan Malamute. I also play in a competitive and contact flag football league, football has been a hobby of mine since I was in 3rd grade. Like most, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to this continued work and shared space, in hopes of creating something sustainable!”
