I have lived in Oregon all my life outside of a short time in Bakersfield, CA, Woodland, WA, and a year in Poiters, France. I lived in Eugene, OR for 20 years after earning a BA in Romance Languages and a Masters Degree In Educational Leadership. Before that I was a boarding student at Oregon Episcopal School for 4 years. I have two sons and we live in SE Portland. We love hiking, camping, and reading.
