My green thumb began as a kid helping my folks develop beds and maintain the grounds of their horse farm. In college, I worked on a commercial tree farm, and later at a vineyard getting involved in all aspects of planting and care. My academic background is in architecture, and my first career was in specialty architectural fabrication. Taking the reins at GROW has allowed me to get back to architecture and its connection with landscape.

My favorite plant:

Trinidad Pinyon Pine; it is a rare being, with the most incredible structure and blue-green needles.

My favorite thing about this job:

Working outside with amazing people everyday. Helping to contribute to a more textured and beautiful outdoor community. 

I worked on a flower farm while I was in college, and we sold beautiful bouquets at the Boulder Farmers Market. I’ve worked on the administrative side of things for 2 decades. My passion and expertise is people. I have high standards for client service and I love working with people who do too.

My favorite plant:

Ferns—they remind me of the lush Oregon forests where I was born and raised.

My favorite thing about this job:

GROW is everything I could ask for in an employer. I wake up every day and look forward to working with some of my favorite humans at a company whose business ethics completely align with my personal philosophy.
