I was born on the Oregon coast and find myself still coming more alive every time I find myself back there. I have lived in Kelowna with my two boys since 2012 and have worked in K-12  inclusive education for the last decade. Before that, I worked for many years In Portland, Oregon in long-term residential recovery with women and children experiencing homelessness. I feel equally at peace swimming in the lake, hiking, and laying on my couch enjoying a good movie!
