I grew up in Half Moon Bay, California, playing on the beach with my twin siblings and one older brother.
I moved into a studio apartment in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco and enjoyed
exploring the city before moving to Portland in 2000 and starting a family. My three boys were born and
raised in Portland and we love everything about the Pacific Northwest. I love skiing in the winter,
paddling on a dragon boat team in the summer, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with my boys and
our dog, Frankie.

I began working for accounting firms as an administrative assistant and have grown into providing
bookkeeping and payroll services for non-profits and small businesses. My work with non-profits has
been the highlight of my career and led me to my current roll as Finance Assistant at Tucker Maxon.
