Just a little about me…

I was born in California.  My parents moved to Washington when I was 2 and there I remained until I left for college.  I am a true Northwesterner and after three years at BYU and a Mission on Temple Square in the heart of Salt Lake City I returned “home” to Portland, Oregon.

Since moving to Portland,I have been involved in many things.

I started my work career working as a pharmacy technician.  After a few years I decided to return to school to finish my bachleors degree.  I had studied Microbiology for three years at Brigham Young University but decided to finish at Portland State with a degree in Speech Communication.  Upon completion of my degree I started with Merck.  I have been working as a pharmaceutical sales representative for Merck ever since.

I have been active with the Portland LDS young singles and more recently, working to establish an LDS mid-singles group.

I love trying new things and have aquired many hobbies and skills.  I am always happiest when I am outdoors, hiking, running, backpacking, camping, skiing or just about anything else.  I love to travel and have had the opportunity to travel to Hungary, Czech Republic, Mexico, Canada, various Caribbean Islands, and most recently Peru.

I love to explore my creative side sewing, quilting, gardening, and “play with paper” creating greeting cards and invitations for friends.

I am looking forward to new adventures with Jared.
