Favorite Memory Here at Fox
Every year I have more memories to add to my heart.  Working with Patty Findley in Minthorn holds so many favorites.  She's one of the funniest and FUNNEST people I know. 
Favorite place to hang out in Portland/Newberg
The Pearl District in Portland.  My backyard porch in Newberg.  Downtown Newberg.  
Family & Pets
I have been married for 33 years to my junior high first, real love. His name is Wade. My lovely daughters, Brenna and Kalie, both GFU graduates, are gainfully employed and they are two of my best friends. My son, Jesse, is a junior this year at GFU.  He's pretty awesome too!
  • Three dogs: Fonzey, Murphy and Roxy. 
Hobbies or other interesting facts
I love to read! I also love independent films. (I am a huge fan of GFU's film festival and couldn't be prouder that my son is now a CMCO major!)  Cooking is also a passion of mine.  My dogs bring me a lot of joy and I finally am an owner of a female Jack Russell Terrier.
Typical Coffee Cottage drink you order
Summer time: Iced Americano, triple, with cream. Winter time: Triple (12 oz.) Americano with cream.
Favorite Scripture Verse
"He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort that God has given us." 2 Corinthians 1:4
