About me: I am originally from Idaho and have gone back to my “roots” living on a timber ranch with my husband outside of Spokane. I have been a Respiratory Therapist, Commercial Property Manager, Construction Estimator, Certified Yoga Instructor, National Spokesperson and Advocate for MS. Of all the things I have done, being at Gonzaga feels like coming home. I believe that everyone has a voice, they just need to be heard. I am happy to be a part of the Gonzaga Community where students are encouraged to find their voice and live a balanced life.
My definition of success: "Success for me is when you realize Dancing on the Edge is just not enough and that now is the time to jump in with both feet. You really only regret the things you didn’t do, not the things you couldn't."
