I served as a Rural Community Development Volunteer in Costa Rica from 2011-2013. I am passionate about reading and read at least one book a week. For this reason, I’m excited to serve on the board as Book Club Chair! Fun fact: I was a participant in a Costa Rican rodeo and a Brazilian reality TV show.

I served in The Gambia, West Africa from 2014-2016, born and raised in Spokane, WA. Went to University of Washington where I double majored in Political Science and Communications.

I am currently a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. When I'm not working, I enjoy staying active and hanging with friends.  I love the outdoors- hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing. Enjoy sports, playing soccer, golf, and rugby as well as watching all sports.

I try to give back when I can and volunteer regularly with the local IRC chapter; I joined the SEAPAX board to help out because my peace corps experience was incredibly rewarding and I want to continue the mission.

I'm excited to meet old and new volunteers and connect with all our members. I like to joke and have a good time!  (Fun) fact about me is I had my appendix removed when I was 9 years old.
