Originally from Bellngham, WA, I graduated with a Bachelor of Musical Arts from Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in 2006. While at PLU, I also earned minors in Spanish, Philosophy, Religion, and was very active in campus activities. After graduation, I served as an Americorps*VISTA and began working in non-profit social services.
I've had the privilege of working in education in a variety of capacities. I've served as a Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN) Site Manager, Educational Assistant, Interpreter (Spanish/English), School Counseling Intern, SUN Case Manager and chess coach. More details about my professional experience can be found here.
I began the Masters in Counselor Education: School Counseling program at Portland State University in Fall, 2012, and graduated with honors in June, 2015. I also received my Initial I School Counseling License from the state of Oregon's Teachers Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) in August, 2015.
I was fortunate to work at Atkinson Elementary school in the Portland Public School district from 2015-2022. I am excited to be working at Riverside Elementary in the North Clackamas School District. In addition to developing a comprehensive school counseling program, I enjoyed working with school counseling interns as well.
Outside of work and education I enjoy playing the tuba, triathlon, games and puzzles.
