My beginning at USM was in the Residential Life Office where working with and helping students become independant thinking young adults was rewarding.   Now, working in the Student and University Life Office in Portland gives me the opportunity to expand my networking with many more of the USM staff. 

I grew up in Central California on a ranch (you call them farms here) growing oranges and grapes.  Thats why I'm not a farmer!  I visited Disneyland on opening night and went to Alaska the year it bacame a state.  I've visited every state in Mexico except one, drove my truck to Central America, and have been threatened with jail in those travels more than once.  There are more than 20 pins on my wall map marking countries I've visited.

I really enjoy living near the ocean in Portland where I like to cook and organize European group travel.
