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.

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.
