Biography:

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest and having access to green spaces, trails, and bike paths heavily influenced my decision to pursue a planning career. What interests me most is how we can use forgotten pieces of land or infrastructure to build trails and areas of recreation in our communities. The rails to trails projects across the country have inspired me to pursue ways in which we can provide access to nature and promote economic growth in urban and rural communities. In my free time I enjoy camping with my husband, cycling, reading, or learning to cook new recipes. In addition, I am an active volunteer for Clackamas County Search & Rescue.
