I grew up on a dairy farm here in Lynden, Washington. I am the second of three sisters. I graduated from LC, and then from Whatcom Community College with my Associates Degree in Child Development. I worked in childcare for 15 years before becoming the director of The Boys and Girls Club. In 2022 God called me to Lynden Christian Middle School as a para-educator. I live in Ferndale with my husband and daughter, and we attend Cornwall Church in Bellingham.
