I enjoy helping students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities essential for success – the skills you learn in Business classes benefit you in any field! After graduating from Oregon State University with a degree in Business Administration, I spent almost ten years in corporate-level positions of increasing responsibility in the Sales Promotion & Marketing and Retail Buying departments of a large Northwest retailer. In 2016, I transitioned to education and in 2022 earned a Master of Arts in Teaching from Pacific University. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, including my husband Jake and our sons Jacob, Matthew, & Colin.
