I am a IC&RC Certified Prevention Professional, and have the pleasure of serving the community I have called home for over 20 years as the Mt. Baker Community Coalition Coordinator. Our work in the Mt. Baker/Columbia Valley area is especially dear to my heart. I am so blessed to witness the transformation of the community, in which I live and have grown to love, and equally blessed to work with so many individuals with hearts of gold, who pour themselves out in service to others.
My heart passion is to witness families and youth thrive in wisdom and love. I believe we have unique tools in prevention to support this by tapping into the strengths within our communities. The empowering process of creating opportunity for individuals to overcome and build resilience together is a mighty force.
Whatcom County is a great place to build resilience! Connecting with God in His creation, through running, hiking, and kayaking gives me stamina, peace and gratitude. Resilience is meant to be shared! I believe it is best built when we learn to be gentle with ourselves and others. I do this by spending time with family and friends and sharing the tough but rewarding journey of motherhood. Additionally, equipping youth with life skills, keeps resilience alive in me.
I am a mother of 5 ranging from 18 years to newborn. My children remind me everyday that love conquers, family is a gift, and humility is beautiful. I press into this work with my whole heart for them and their peers.
