THE MOST TREASURED THING I OWN

My beautiful cottage home and garden in Northeast Portland, which has a unique spirit and character, and is a wonderful refuge for me and my family.

ONE PIECE OF ADVICE

Some things cannot be measured with numbers. Sometimes the most valuable and important things are beyond the quantifiable and outside of what can be objectively accounted for.

HOBBIES

I am a quiet homebody and spend my free time reading, doing yoga, gardening, running, playing ukulele, and pondering life’s mysteries.
