I am a proud native of Washington State who spent 10 years living in Las Vegas before returning home to rebuild my life and reconnect with my community. My greatest passion is making a difference in the lives of others, and I bring that spirit of care and dedication into everything I do.
I have a deep love for animals and have volunteered at two no‑kill shelters, as well as at the Las Vegas Zoo and the San Diego Zoo—experiences that were both rewarding and inspiring.
Outside of work, I enjoy relaxing with Netflix, indulging in tasty snacks, and hunting for hidden treasures while shopping at my favorite stores
