What do you do?
I enjoy living in paradise, the Coast Salish lands and the Salish Sea Basin. I live on San Juan with my children, near extended family, lifelong friends, beaches, trees, trails, and whales. For the past six years I have had the most beautiful commute in the world, moving between San Juan Island and Bellingham, first to attend university, and now for work as a writer and principal administrator for Children of The Setting Sun Productions and Board Secretary for WE – White Swan Environmental, both Coast Salish indigenous led non-profit organizations. Along the way I’ve held various board and elected positions with the San Juan Food Co-op, and San Juan County and 40th Legislative Democrat organizations, and continue to serve as a volunteer for events and campaigns.
