I am almost a Boise Native, my family moved here from Sacramento, California in 1978. I am a proud Boise High Alumnus.

I started my career in marketing once I graduated  in 1997, with a BA degree  in Advertising from San Diego State University.  After college I moved to Salt Lake City where I worked at a start up .com (CitySerach.com).  From there, I worked at advertising agencies in both Salt Lake City and Boise as well as worked on the client side of marketing.

In 2013 I married my best friend, Dan and we are now a family of 6; my son Ethan and daughter Hannah and 2 young labs.  Once I had kids, I went out on my own and started Twiss Creative Co-op,  which allowed me to spend time with them. 

When my kids started school, I decided it was time to get back in the workforce outside my home and was so excited when the opportunity to work at an organization like the Children's Home Society came along in 2019.
