Current job: Executive Assistant for the Southwest Washington Contractors Association.
Proudest professional moment: As a high school student I volunteered at the Lower Columbia Regional Cancer Center and met a very intriguing patient who happened to be a reporter. After sharing with him my recent enlistment into the Washington Army National Guard, he decided to publish an article on my accomplishments.
First job: Signal Support Systems Specialist with the Washington Army National Guard. I joined the Guard at 17 years old and am finishing up my 6-year term this upcoming summer. I also served on active duty orders for just short of two years working in logistics. I’m grateful for the skills, discipline and patience I have learned while serving!
Fun fact: Sloths move three times faster in the water than they do on land!
Favorite spot on a Saturday night: When we’re not spending time with friends, my husband and I are at home relaxing with our 18-month old daughter.
Favorite movie: I would say Ladder 49 because as a young child my dream was to be a firefighter! Though not very long after, I realized I had an intense fear of heights and would not do well in that career! Ha ha.
Music of choice: EDM by far! My husband and I joke that we would have loved being young adults in the 80s when this genre was first introduced!
Favorite place to eat: Boomerang Bistro for a casual lunch – their sandwiches are to die for!
La Casa Tapatia for the queso and margaritas!
