BACKGROUND

I have over two decades of grant and business management experience. I have owned my own business in computer consulting and have worked in the public health field, from grants management to fiscal management. I have been a public health administrator, formerly in Columbia County and now in Garfield County. I am currently the Executive Director of Southeast WA Alliance for Health, established in 2020, a community-based organization that works with healthcare partners to further our community's non-health-related care and link clients to resources. Southeast WA Alliance for Health covers three counties, with community health workers serving each community.

I have many years of experience working in the accounting and business management fields, with a business certification in accounting from Western Business College. I have also received a Public Health Management Certificate from Northwest Center of Public Health Practice. In the 12 years I owned and operated my own computer consulting business, I taught computer skills extension classes at Walla Walla Community College and Lewis-Clark State College.
