My Journey to SVA
I am thrilled to have joined the SoundView Team as Kevin Slater’s Executive Assistant. I have actually known Kevin for about 15 years now - which is very helpful as I transition into my new role. I began my professional career in several different human resource roles at Starbucks and later Amazon until I decided to take a step back from the large corporate environment. For the last 6 years, I have been the administrative assistant at my church.

Family
My family is the most important part of my life. I am married to my college sweetheart, and we have 2 young children. I have lived in Seattle my whole life, with a brief venture to Eastern WA in childhood and a short stay in Vancouver, BC, a couple of years ago. We currently live in North Seattle and share a home with my parents.

Hobbies
I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a BA in English Literature in 2010. As an English major, I have retained my love of reading. I love fiction - my favorite authors include (but are never limited to) Abraham Verghese, Anthony Doerr, Annie Dillard, and Stephen King.
I also love exploring our beautiful PNW landscape in the mountains and lakes on hikes and biking excursions.
Fashionable Butters of the World
My most frequent hobby (outside of reading and hiking) is baking. I love to bake anything and everything, but I enjoy baking sourdough and pastries the most. I even own a sweatshirt with all my favorite butter brands depicted on the front!
While I am only in the second month of my tenure at SVA, I can already see that it is going to be a place where I can grow, learn, and serve clients and the team well. I am a recovering perfectionist, and I long to use my gifts as an organizer, people connector, and all-around high achiever for the GOOD of all!
I am looking forward to meeting many of you in the coming months.
