Childcare and Youth Project Specialist
Since moving to Ellensburg in the Fall of 2016 to attend CWU, I have fallen in love with our community. Nothing can beat the small town closeness- Friendly neighbors, support of small businesses, and creating relationships with the families who helped establish this town. While majoring in Sociology and Social Services, I found my passion for actively working towards bettering communities. With my years of experience in both public education and childcare, I am so excited to now have the opportunity to further our community's outreach programs! I believe that together we can create a safer community full of easily accessible healthcare, childcare, and overall family support in Kittitas County. And in the process, we will better our community together. When I am not working my 9 to 5, you can find me as your local event coordinator & decorator!
