Vulpine Slips
I can’t imagine life without music. I’ve played a variety of instruments over the past 25 years and have been slappin’ that bass with the Vulpine Slips since 2012.
Built oregon | Built up festival
I got involved with Built Oregon through Portland State University’s Impact Entrepreneurs program and have been fortunate enough to write articles for their news section (Love Bottle | Revant Optics) in addition to being a volunteer at their annual Built Up Festival.
Elevating impact summit
Since 2017 I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with PSU’s Elevating Impact Summit as their Community Partner Strategist. In 2018, my involvement grew to also include the role of Back of House Manager.
