I have my Bachelors of Arts in History from Florida State University and my Masters of Arts in Eastern European History from the University of Hawai’i at Moana.  I have been in education for over a decade, four of which have been in Adult Education.  I am a Southern girl at heart, having spent my formative years in West Florida.  I am from generations of military veterans and have lived all over the world.  I am the daughter of Mary and granddaughter of John and Maryann.  My grandfather and his family were raised in Choctaw, Oklahoma.  My husband is active duty Navy, and we have chosen to plant our roots in the South Sound.

My goal as the NWIC Site Manager is to mentor students as they explore and define their values, education, career and life goals. I considers myself a “developer”, and always see the potential in others;  I hope to help NWIC students grow while simultaneously capitalizing on their individual strengths.   I grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts and am primarily of Portuguese descent. My military service brought me to Washington, where I eventually chose to plant my roots, and have called this home since 2005. Upon transitioning out of the military, I worked on base at the Education Center as an Education Services Specialist for eight years where I assisted soldiers with pursuing and achieving their educational goals. I am a certified Career Advisor and have earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Martin’s University. I have years of experience as a culturally responsive academic advisor with students in diverse higher education settings.
