How long at Y: 8 Months

Favorite thing about working with Y: My favorite thing about working with the Y is the strong feeling of community and acceptance amongst diverse populations

Greatest Accomplishment: My greatest accomplishment (so far)has been moving to Austin from my home in Seattle after I graduated from Western Washington University in 2010.  It was a challenge starting over and being so far from my family, but I have found a new home at the YMCA with the members and staff.  I am proud to come to work every day and be part of a team that embraces everyone, no matter what their walk in life

Motto: Be a labor big or small, do it well or not at all

Favorite Austin Activity/Hot Spot:  TownLake Trail and Fruity Froyo

Favorite Movie: Wall-E

Cats or Dogs: Dogs
