Originally from rural Southern Oregon and a first generation college student, my career path has woven capacity building for communities throughout the United States, Mexico and Peru. I have provided technical assistance and leadership to a diversity of environmental and social initiatives - from after school programs in villages abroad to disaster response nationally, agriculture tourism locally, and group peer support remotely. Passionate about service, I am proud of my three years of AmeriCorps service to my communities and country. The many hats I have worn over the last 20 years have supported individuals and families, nonprofits, grassroots groups, and small businesses… and a small herd of dogs, cats, sheep, cows and a few goats.

Summer 2025 Roaming Radius:

Central and Southern Oregon, Northern California
