Where are you from? Where did you go to college?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up near Milwaukee, Wisconsin and also spent a lot of my time in the southwest part of the state, where my father\u2019s family live and farm. I attended the University of Wisconsin (Madison) for my Bachelor of Science degree (Forest Science and Natural Resources).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What brought you to OSU? What is your role in the College of Forestry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband, Jacob, and I moved to Corvallis from Denver in early 2016. My husband is a veteran of the Marine Corps, and it was time for him to finish his Bachelor\u2019s degree under the G.I. Bill. OSU seemed like a great option. We were both intrigued by the PNW. For Jacob, it was the coastline and for me, the forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work for the COF Research Forests<\/a>, managing the forest inventory, GIS, and reforestation programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite part about working for the College of Forestry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s really fulfilling to work with students on building their professional skillsets. I\u2019ve been fortunate to work with highly motivated, bright, and curious student workers. I enjoy sharing what I\u2019ve learned [and am still learning] with them and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you like to do outside of work? Hobbies, family, volunteer work, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a part-time master\u2019s student in the Sustainable Forest Management program, so that takes up a bit of my time. I enjoy vegetable gardening and general tinkering around my home. My husband and I both enjoy camping, fishing, backpacking and hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite food?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For cooking, I like putting a healthy spin on American food. When eating out, I like restaurants that prepare more elaborate things that I can\u2019t make [well] \u2013 like Japanese, Indian, and Thai food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite time of the year? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall \u2013 for sure! I prefer the cooler, refreshing temperatures, changing colors, and mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any pets?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have one cat named Mesa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is something funny, interesting, or crazy that has happened to you in the past year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, Covid-19 has been a real showstopper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in July, my husband and I went to New Jersey for a good friend\u2019s wedding. Due to thunderstorms, our flight home got delayed for a couple of days. We literally only had the shirts on our backs. After some hand-washing of laundry in the motel, we decided to use the bonus-day to tour Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I was blown away by the history museum, and it was an unexpected, memorable change of events for us, especially on Fourth of July weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would be able to stop time, so I could fit in all of the fun that I want to have in this life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
