• I have a Masters degree in Social Work with an emphasis in Community Development and Administration.
• I understand winding career paths.  My own has taken me from a non-profit private sector developmental disabilities agency to public sector mental health, child welfare, and health and human services and back to the private sector as a business owner! 
• When I grow up I want to help lead the effort to build up the Wabash neighborhood into a sparkling gem of Eureka.  I also want to travel extensively,
• Best advice for living a happy, healthy life:  Never stop learning! Deliberately make time for learning and be very intentional about what you seek to learn.
• Pets:  One giant puppy and one plump office-cat-turned-house-cat, who get along like siblings.
