My work ethic is centered on my unwavering commitment to identifying and surmounting challenges in any process. I am deeply driven by my desire to make a positive impact on my community and the individuals within it. This sense of purpose was instilled in me by my parents, who dedicated their careers to supporting those in need. My mother's role as a special needs teacher and my father's work at the Oregon Department of Human Services served as inspiring examples of the difference one can make by helping others.

Throughout life, we all encounter moments when we require assistance to navigate its complexities. This assistance can take various forms, including providing guidance, sharing resources, or simply offering a supportive presence. I believe that by extending a helping hand, we can make life's journey a little smoother for those around us.
