Erika
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.
