Here’s my brief Bio:
Business, Operations, and Office Administrator With Strong IT Systems Knowledge And Understanding
A Less Brief Bio:
I’m a lifelong resident of the Seattle area who was born in Rhode Island and loves technology. I’ve spent most of my life in the greater Seattle area, and I have a rich family history in Washington.
In-Depth Bio:
Most of my job titles have been Business Administrator, Office Manager, Program Manager, Executive, and Administrative Assistant. In one of my current roles, I’m THE IT department. Thus, I bring a solid technical skill set, along with my knowledge of business fundamentals and experience across a wide array of business types. My past companies include Seattle stalwarts like Microsoft and Starbucks, as well as many small and medium-sized businesses and non-profits. I connect organizational goals with practical technical solutions in a way that respects the people who rely on those systems every day. I value thoughtful analysis, clear communication, and sustainable design over quick fixes. Additionally, I am well-versed in Agile and waterfall project management disciplines. Currently, I divide my time between two local non-profits: Trinity Lutheran Church and the Edmonds Waterfront Center.
My IT knowledge and skills include desktop and network support, as well as some cloud administration work. During the pandemic, I earned an Associate’s in Technical Arts from Edmonds College. My main focus was Web Application and Cloud development, but I also studied Cisco Networking, desktop support, as well as database theory and design (including SQL), systems analysis, architecture, design, and development.

As far as web systems, I’ve mostly worked with WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace, though I’m able to create and edit classic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript-built sites. I have also strategized, managed, and executed social media campaigns, including tools like Google and Meta business accounts.
Other Stuff:
I have an abiding interest in photography, poetry, and writing that finds its origins back in late elementary school and junior high. I have worked hard on building those skills and expanding them. This included taking as many writing classes and design classes as I could. These are key parts of my life’s joy.
Various additional details:
- I love geeky things and geek culture, including comics, sci-fi, anime, and fantasy.
- I also love writing haiku and taking photographs as creative outlets. You can view that work here, and it’s a key focus of my Instagram page.
