My outside interests consist of travel, primarily to warmer climates, visiting friends and family , and spending as much time as possible with Grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Board Certified Emergency Nurse

I was born and raised in Kitsap County and started working as an Emergency department nurse in 2010. I work daily with the crews from Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue.  In 2019 I was asked to attend a CK Medic One Foundation meeting to see if I would be a good fit for them. It has been a pleasure to volunteer my time to help support Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue to provide exceptional care to this community.

My outside interests include traveling with my husband, working on home improvement projects and spending time with my family.

Wood Worker/Custom Wood Furniture Maker for over 16 years

In 2010, my friend Ted Anderson, a former Fire Commissioner and then a member of the CKM1 board of directors, knew I liked to do volunteer work and suggested I look into the CKM1 Foundation.  I was impressed with the mission of improving the care of patients that are helped by CKFR Emergency Medical services and thought that my scientific/grant writing skills could be useful for that mission.

I enjoy spending time with family, remodeling, wood working, water color and mixed media art work, stained glass, gardening, cooking, shopping and travel.

Board Certified Emergency Physician (M.D.)

In 2006, when my tenure as the EMS Medical Program Director for Kitsap County was almost complete, I was asked to join the CK Medic One Foundation.  The board of the Foundation was re-forming after a period of inactivity. I have had a long time interest in first aid, pre-hospital emergency medical services, and emergency medicine.  At the time, I was also living in CKFRs jurisdiction and it seemed like a good fit for my interests, knowledge, and desire to provide community service.

My outside interests include computers and technology, dabbling in photography and spending time at home with my wife.

Kitsap Bank Mortgage Loan Officer-30+ in mortgage banking industry

In 2013, I was approached by a friend and fellow board member to attend a meeting.  After a few meetings, I really felt the significance of the foundations mission and was eager to participate in whatever capacity necessary. I had a small amount of experience in communications and was asked to fill the position. I am proud of the work and funds that the foundation has provided to our Medics and the community through improved patient care.

My outside interests consist of spending time with my family (especially my granddaughters) and researching new and interesting recipes to execute in my sanctuary (the kitchen) which generally culminates into a great family gathering.
