I am the Horticulture Manager here at PKJ. I have worked for 10 years as a horticulturist after completing my bachelor’s degree in Horticulture from BYU-Idaho. In that time, I focused on water conservation and plant diversification in commercial and residential landscape settings. My experience with maintaining landscapes contributes to a better understanding of plants and their maintenance requirements. My work with educating community members has helped me see a greater need for well-thought-out designs that are biodiverse and sustainable. I love to work hard and get satisfaction from a job well done.
When not at work, I enjoy spending time outside. One of my favorite places to travel to was my grandparent’s property in western Oregon; I loved exploring the woods in their backyard and visiting the coast. I’ve hiked across the Grand Canyon, and enjoy tent camping. I also enjoy spending time with my family and doing things for them, including crocheting blankets for my nieces and nephews, cooking and eating together, and playing games. I also enjoy reading and learning new things.
