This is my first adventure with Habitat International and I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty. I have been actively supporting local charities by volunteering for more than twenty-five years and I love to travel. Therefore, when a friend recently told me about this global organization, I realized it presented an opportunity to intertwine my love of philanthropy with my love of travel. I also realized my wilderness survival training might come in handy and I had better make sure my CPR certification is up to date. I graduated from Cal-Poly Pomona with a BS degree in Biology and Scientific Computer Programming, but when I’m not looking for an adventure, I am a financial consultant/corporate controller. Don’t ask me how I went from Biology to Finance, all I can say is I love math. Moreover, many people can’t read a financial statement to save their lives. I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to the Pacific Northwest after college where I raised two amazing young men, the youngest (20) is attending the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!) and the oldest (23) works in Seattle having graduated from the University of Washington.
