Central Point Chamber of Commerce
2005-2006 Board of Directors
I attended Modoc High School in Alturas, California and graduated from CSU, Fresno with a degree in Radio/Television Communications with the dream of being the next Joan Lunden. Instead, I got married and had three beautiful daughters: Alexandria, 16; Annalisa, 13 and Caroline, 10. I have lived in the Rogue Valley for 16 years and had the pleasure of moving to Central Point in 2003, realizing this was the community in which I wanted to raise my children.
I am the Medford Branch Manager for Cardinal Services, a full services Human Resources company specializing in helping small to mid-sized businesses hire, manage and retain their best employees while minimizing costs.
