Vice-President, Co-Founder 

“Committed to serving people and
improving the lives of others.”

Since 1988, I have worked in many environments where I recognized technology as the obvious path to increased efficiency.  I worked hard to learn various pieces of software and eventually web-based systems so that I could work smarter, rather than harder.  This method of performing work made me seemingly indispensable in my positions over the decades.

In 2023-2024 I worked with our Streamlining team to completely digitize a Special District in Oregon.  We migrated all of their paper to digital and created processes to help them stay efficient and organized as well as provide quick access to important data on a daily basis.

In 2021, I co-founded Strike School, a private, virtual, nationwide K-12 option. I currently serve as Assistant Principal, Director of Enrollment and School Office Manager. 

In 2020, I co-founded Strike Services, Strike Streamlining and Strike HOPE.

WI am privileged to be part of a statewide organization that supports alternative learning organizations in WA. I am a regular presenter at their annual state-wide conference. In 2020 I was honored to receive the “Friend of WALA” award as a recognition of my dedication to my work, loyalty to clients, and unfailingly positive attitude in all situations.

Since 2022, I have been presenting Streamlining at the national DLAC conference. This year, I am joining their national Digital Learningpalooza in their Tech Tent, showcasing a Streamlining process that is our favorite for automation and creating layers of efficiency.

In every organization I work with, we use Google tools to streamline our internal processes.

I am Google Certified and qualified to evaluate workflow situations and create a custom plan to increase communication, efficiency, and collaboration.
