I enjoy spending time meeting growers and talking with people in the agricultural community. My favorite thing to do is hang out with my family; hiking, biking and camping.

Family Leadership Training Institute of Colorado
Location: CSU Campus, State Extension Office
Date of Hire: January 2017
Personal Information: Though I am originally from Longview/Kelso, Washington, and lived in Moffat County (Craig) during my high school years, Fort Collins has become “home” over the past 20 years. In my personal time, I am most often in the mountains with my husband, our 3 children and dog, on the sidelines of a lacrosse game, tending to my gardens, cooking for friends/family gatherings, or cuddled up with a good book and a strong coffee.
Job Experience: Over the past 15 years, I have worked with a variety of community-based collaborations between the nonprofit, local government, and private sectors within Larimer County. I have worked extensively with initiatives focused on poverty alleviation, affordable housing, homelessness, mental health advocacy, and socio-economic mobility. My passion is helping others to find their voices, and working with FLTI couldn’t be a more perfect fit!
Education:
2000 B.S. Psychology, at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO
