What do you like about living in the Pacific Northwest?
I’m excited about the abundance of recreational opportunities, hiking and backpacking trails, and water bodies to swim in.
Why do you work here (at the District)?
I am passionate about sustainable land management and working with those that actively manage lands and enhance ecosystem health.
Bonus fact!
I am an avid backpacker and mycophile, I’m a certified scuba diver, I was an elected official in in the city I lived in in Northern CA, and I’ve spent many summer weekends guiding whitewater rafting trips down the Trinity, Smith, and Klamath Rivers in Northern CA.
