Our Staff

“My background was originally very technical which involved developing computer software. Over time I moved into teaching computer science and software engineering which lead to administrative roles regarding STEM education policy and programs. I’ve been involved with FIRST programs in Oregon since 2001 including as a member of ORTOP’s board. I look forward to helping ORTOP serve more students of all backgrounds throughout Oregon.”

“I have a background in Community Health Education and two years of experience working in STEAM. I am passionate about fostering healthy communities where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and become the next generation of STEAM leaders. I am excited to continue to support Community Partners at ORTOP.”

“Prior to joining ORTOP, I held many positions working and supporting youth as a school district employee, community volunteer, crisis counselor and robotics coach across all FIRST programs. I am passionate about using STEM to build relationships in an inclusive, welcoming community for everyone. My goal is to bring project based learning to all Oregon students and aid in their self discovery to see themselves as the next leaders in science and technology.”
