I graduated from Oregon State University in 2018 with a bachelor’s in Kinesiology and minor in Psychology. I am an outgoing person and love being in a work setting that helps people every day. Working in healthcare and helping people is a real passion of mine. I want to make everyone’s experience wonderful when they walk through the doors. I love the outdoors and will often go out for hikes, runs, and walks. On the rainy days in Portland, you can find me working on puzzles. I am from Portland and love everything about the city.
