How do you describe your job to people outside SCOE?

Where did you grow up?
Cazadero, in west county. My whole family still lives out there. We’re the family with the giant chainsaw sculptures!

Kathy Kane, 4th grade at Monte Rio School. She taught us important subjects with a sense of humor and love.

My coworkers! I am so lucky to work with such wonderful people, including my husband Tyler. We even have a bunch of us from different departments who play trivia together!

What is one of your most memorable moments as a SCOE employee?
The time I hit my head under the front desk and got a concussion. No one but IT was allowed to go under our desks for weeks! People were irked to say the least. Whoops, my bad!

Outside of work, what is your favorite hobby or way to unwind?
I love video games and watching Tom Hanks movies. I watch You’ve Got Mail almost weekly and I have recently started a fascination with Julia Child. I am also really into true crime and horror movies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Go go Gryffindor!

Cazadero along Austin Creek. It is so peaceful and beautiful out there.
