People deserve someone who makes them feel heard. Someone that helps them feel safe enough to say not only the easy stuff, but the hard stuff as well. They deserve to be understood, supported, and fiercely advocated for by empathetic, dedicated people who understand the complexities of the system well.

Building rapport with individuals and families and helping people understand where their strengths are. I love the lightbulb moment when someone begins to realize their potential, or a unique gift they've always had but never noticed. I endeavor to bring warmth, humor, and dedication to every interaction, and I want each person to know they are a priority.

Coffee shops, thrift stores, and a good book from the library at a wine bar. In the summer you'll find me wakeboarding and soaking up everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I also love travelling; living in London for 3.5 years gave me a real love for experiencing different cultures and countries.
