I have worked in the nonprofit and public sector for more than 30 years. While I grew up in Grays Harbor most of my career has been in Snohomish County. In addition to nonprofits, I’ve worked in K-12 education systems and public libraries.
I joined the Community Foundation in 2000 to lead the Wiggums Park Renewal Project in north Everett. It was a career highlight and helped me see the power of community in decision making. While I never intended to stay so long, but I was named CEO in 2019. Our board and staff focus on transforming and disrupting systems. Our commitment to community drives our daily work.
I have a degree in public relations. I live in Lake Stevens with my husband, sons and dogs. I like to read, hike, boat, kayak, and cook.
