I am drawn to opportunities that allow me to facilitate the well-being of others. In my role I am grateful for the opportunity to watch adolescents grow into their potential; while overcoming challenges, this is incredibly rewarding to be part of. I am not just a witness to their success; I am given the opportunity to help them succeed.

Northern Pines has provided me with space for growth, purpose and new possibilities. This has been experienced through the variety of roles I have had, the chances I have had to make a difference in the community, the wonderful co-workers I get to work with and the ability to evolve my career path.

I find joy in the simple and extraordinary things. I am enthusiastic about traveling and exploring new places, unwinding on peaceful walks with my dogs, spending quality time with my family, dinnertime around my dining room table and transforming furniture with fresh color.
