Growing up, I had the great privilege of being surrounded by a loving family and friends who encouraged and inspired me. I learned that faith in the Lord, hard work and laughter would carry me through the years to come. A love for reading and learning inspired me to earn a degree in History at Portland State University, though I had no idea where I would go from there.
My first job after college was as a receptionist at a design + build agency. This would lead to a career path that I never saw coming. Over the last 12+ years, the people I have met and projects I have been a part of in this crazy industry have brought me joy, been a challenge and a blessing in so many ways.
I know that most people think they have the cutest dog in the world and I can completely relate, because I actually do have the cutest dog in the world. My husband isn’t bad either, ha! I am blessed beyond what anyone deserves.
