About Me

Mid-August I moved to the Pacific Northwest Portland area in order to pursue further education.

I'm always looking for good things for my hands to do!

Been called a camp counselor, crew coordinator, and case manager; my work is all about people.

And my life flexes to include books and nature. I read Dune in 7th grade because it was the longest book in my teacher's collection, and just spent the summer working in the Wilderness volunteering as a ranger for the Forest Service!

Coming from the world of camps and currently a nonprofit employment agency in southern Michigan, I look forward to seeing how Brazen informs and keeps its finger on the pulse of the coming changes.

That's all for now, folks!
