Why I do what I do? Helping people has always been important to me. I love the opportunity to help people love the spaces they occupy and coming up with multiple ways to solve their design problems.

How I play? I love the PNW and all it has to offer so when I’m not working, you will either find me hiking, playing with my dogs, watching movies with my boyfriend, playing volleyball, or coaching. I also enjoy riding quads with my family from time to time.

I cannot live without… My pups. I have two dogs, Duke and Daisy. They are still pretty young so they definitely keep me busy. My family is really important to me, and I am very grateful to have them be a part of my life. I am the oldest of three. I have a sister who is a year and four months younger. She is currently in the Air Force. I also have a brother who is a senior in high school.

My last meal before the zombies attack? I am a big sushi fan! Salmon nigiri and shrimp nigiri are my absolute favorites! Along with miso soup and salt & pepper squid!!!

Random Fact… When I was young, they told me I would grow to be 6’2”, when in all actuality I would only grow to be 5’10”. Although when I played volleyball in college, they listed me as being 6’0” to intimidate the other teams before they actually saw how tall I was. My sister was only supposed to be as tall as 5’9” but she is actually 6’0”.
