Personal

Originally from the East Coast, I have happily embraced life in the Pacific Northwest and am looking forward to establishing roots of my own in this beautiful region. I am still soaking up the laid-back vibes, epic scenery, and signature coffee culture that define the PNW. Faith is the cornerstone of my life, and I am deeply involved in ministry, finding immense joy in giving back to the community that has welcomed me so warmly. When I am not diving into case files, I am spending time with my wonderful husband, family, two adult children or spoiling my niece with creative art projects and ceramic painting. At home, our lives & hearts are ruled by Mr. O’Malley, our orange tabby cat. I am profoundly grateful for this chapter in my life, and I am excited to continue blending professional dedication with the joy of faith, family, and community.
