I was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington and was involved in my school through athletics.

I believe education is important and I was able to attend a variety of schools.  I received a BS in Mathematics from University of Puget Sound.  Then, I continued my education at University of Oregon to earn a Master's in Business Administration. I earned my Teaching Certificate from Washington State University.   

I enjoy to be active in the outdoors whether it be biking, hiking, or visiting Alaska.
