What do you like about living in the Pacific Northwest?

The trees! Western Washington is home to some of the most beautiful and ecologically rich forests. I also love living in a region that has a strong conservation ethic and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Why do you work here (at the District)?

I am committed to the sustainable management of our natural resources. Working at the Snohomish Conservation District allows me to engage in this work daily and collaborate with landowners who have a direct impact on our landscape. I hope to find ways to sustain forests for the benefit of both people and the environment.
