I am a Washington native, who grew up in a small agriculture town in Central Washington and working in apple and cherry fields since 13 years old. I moved to Seattle in 2013 to attend college and obtained my bachelor’s in business administration from the University of Washington. While attending UW I got my first accounting position as a bookkeeper for a Property Development company (Rainier Valley Partners), then later worked at NorthStar Energy as an Accounts Payable Specialist.

Outside of work, I enjoy being in the outdoors hiking and walking through local parks, going to sporting events and cooking.
