I was born and raised in Tacoma WA and spent my first year of college at CWU before transferring to WWU and graduating with a degree in psychology and a minor in business. Since graduating I have spent most of my career in social services working as a chemical dependency counselor, social worker for Child Protective Services and currently a case manager for Developmental Disabilities Community Services in Moses Lake WA. I am excited to be on the board of directors for CISNCW and am impressed with everything they are doing to support the students in our schools.
