A Midwestern transplant, I moved to Portland in 1999 with a dream of green mountains and a cool PacWest climate. Rain? No problem! I’ve worked for PCC since I arrived, starting out as a work study employee, then an on-call library worker, a Clerk in Human Resources and for the last few years, a Library Technician. My primary duties are scheduling media for faculty, training student workers and supervising the stacks at Sylvania.

When I’m not on campus I’m hiking, gardening, swimming in rivers, playing video games, watching Doctor Who and drinking gallons of tea.
