I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, downhill skiing, xc skiing, running, camping, baking, cooking, traveling, and visiting breweries!

I came to AK in 2004 as an intern after doing my graduate work in Boston. What was supposed to be just one year of adventure has now become 17 years and still counting! I’ve worked most of the time with Anchorage School District and one year with SERRC providing School Psychology services all over this amazing state. I’ve been ASPA’s secretary for a number of years, and am very honored to be serving as president for the next two years. |
