I am the Chief Procurement Officer at Centralia College in Washington State and a statewide leader in higher education procurement. I combine certifications (CPPO, NIGP-CPP), legal training, and operational experience to advance ethical, compliant, and innovative public purchasing practices.
I am passionate about mentorship, process improvement, and elevating the procurement profession. Outside of work, I enjoy creative pursuits, lifelong learning, and life in the Pacific Northwest - where I share my rural home with my partner and a very enthusiastic yellow lab named Maude.
