I love painting, pretending to be a chef, gardening, puzzles, reading, and so much more!

Born and raised in the heat and heart of Austin, TX, I am very pleased to now call Washington home. I live with my husband, two children, and a couple of golden pups on Kitsap Lake.

Being from a music capital, I LOVE seeing live shows and can be found rocking out, singing (not well, but it brings joy!), and dancing to music as often as possible.

I am a ‘Jill’-of-all-trades! I’ve worked in the service industry, many facets of healthcare, childcare, finance, and was a hairstylist in TX. In all aspects of my life, I strive to cultivate pleasing aesthetics and good flow.

The Human-Centered Design & Engineering program at the University of Washington has long been the plan to gain knowledge and skills for creating better healthcare systems. Waiting out COVID for in-person classes was a must, and I couldn’t be happier to finally be immersed in the program!

Travel, travel, travel! I currently have zero stamps on my passport and I’m itching to remedy this. First stop, Italy! My husband and I met working in an Italian restaurant and winery in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. We developed a love of fine cuisine and wine and take every opportunity to try new restaurants in the greater Seattle region (suggestions always welcome!)

I am dying to see aurora borealis in Alaska or Sweden
