I am Chief of Staff and Humboldt Area Foundation’s most senior staff member. After graduating from Humboldt State University, Humboldt County felt like home and I was fortunate to begin working at Humboldt Area Foundation in 2002. I am now raising two kids who are growing up to see close-knit community and natural environmental beauty as ordinary. Through my work, I get to meet the most amazing people in our region coming together to make our community a better place for all of us, and I can’t imagine anything better.
