I am the Executive Director of The Haven. I was fortunate to have been hired a few months before we opened so I have gotten to see this whole story unfold. I have been a business owner and Executive Chef in my previous career.

I moved to Bend in 2003, and have served as the Executive Director of Volunteers in Medicine for the last 12 years. I was raised in very small town in Mississippi, and have an undergraduate degree in International Relations, and a Masters in Public Administration. My professional interests are in strategic planning, board and organizational leadership, health in all policies, and creating a better Bend. My husband, Mike, and I have raised 3 daughters who have all graduated from Bend-LaPine schools and are my proudest accomplishment(s).

I am the Executive Vice President at Mid Oregon Credit Union. My core values are integrity, excellence, knowledge, and work ethic. I believe in free market principles, individual responsibility, and independence.
