I grew up in a small town in rural Oregon, the youngest of three kids. My two older brothers and I were raised by a single dad who struggled to make ends meet. I learned early how to grit my teeth, laugh through the hard stuff, and to never back down from a challenge. Today, I am a civil rights lawyer for employees, a recovering politician, and mom to two wildly cool kids. I “relax” by coaching girl basketball, weightlifting, and belting out every note of “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks into a karaoke mic.
