What was your journey to the College of Forestry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did my undergrad in business and a minor in economics at the University of Oregon and worked a few different jobs, including in the Admissions Office at Western Oregon University, and I really loved the environment there. To get the type of university job I wanted, I needed a master’s degree so I decided to come to Oregon State to get my master’s in counseling. After that, I worked at LBCC in the TRIO program and in the Horticulture Department at Oregon State. I moved over here to the College of Forestry in 2014.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite part of your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The students. I wouldn\u2019t be doing this if I didn\u2019t enjoy working with the students. It\u2019s really cool to see their development from start to finish. They really grow in confidence.<\/p>\n

What do you do when you\u2019re not working?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to kayak when the weather is good. I read a lot and watch some TV.\u00a0I\u2019m a parent to two teenagers who can\u2019t drive themselves yet, so I spend a lot of time shuttling them between activities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What have you been watching and reading lately?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m watching True Blood \u2013 about 10 years too late \u2013 and I just read a book called The Nature Fix, which is very interesting and relates a little bit to my work.<\/p>\n

What job did you want to be when you were a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was never anyone who had a great sense of direction from a young age, but I did love art as a kid, and I think I wanted to be an artist at one point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you could only eat tacos or sushi for the rest of your life, which would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tacos! I\u2019m a vegetarian and have been for about 30 years now. I also love Thai food, Mexican food, and I would eat pizza every day if I could. There isn\u2019t much I don\u2019t like, except for bananas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
