CATS. I am definitely going to be a crazy cat lady when I’m old. We currently have 3 and they are my fur babies. Dandelion is an orange and white part Maincoon who is 16, Josephine is a very chubby grey cat who is 9 (follow her on IG @josephinefatcat) and Poppy is a spunky tuxedo cat who is 6. I spend way too much time sending and receiving adorable and funny cat videos with my fellow feline loving friends.
MUSIC is definitely the soundtrack to my life. I enjoy a wide range of genres and I could NEVER pick a favorite song. I am also a vocalist and often sing for church services, weddings, memorials, special events, etc. I’m a first soprano and live for the high notes! Music for sure adds to my quality of life and I can’t imagine life without it.
I am a huge DISNEYLAND fan. It’s legit the best place on earth. Put me on Main Street with a Disneyland Starbucks in hand and I’m in heaven. My favorite ride: Peter Pan.
I ADORE COFFEE. You will literally never see me without a Starbucks drink in hand. My fav: a venti black and white mocha, 3 pumps of each, yes to whip, always hot (yes even in the summer).
Do we have anything in common?
I am the volunteer doula coordinator at St. Joseph and St. Michael hospitals in the Tacoma/Silverdale area. I helped to launch, orient, train and smoothly run a hospital based volunteer doula program.

This hospital birth center employs doulas and I was hired as the lead doula when this birth center opened in 2016. I helped interview, hire, train and orient our staff doulas as well as helped run the birth center more efficiently, helped with communication between nurses and doulas, etc.
