Meet Our Team

Born in Wuerzburg, Germany, I was raised primarily in New England (Boston area) and the Pacific Northwest (greater Seattle). I attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. During my time in school, I began working in the local wine industry. This led to a 20+ year career in the wine and spirits industry as a sales professional across all business channels. Working as both a distributor and supplier, I managed sales teams and brands across all categories of wine, beer, RTDs, and spirits, earning credentials as a Sommelier, Cicerone, and Certified Spirits Specialist. Professionally, I have lived and worked across the Western States region and nationally, based out of Seattle, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. After relocating to Portland in 2024, I transitioned into the furniture industry with Ashley Furniture, working both corporately and within their locally operated Oregon franchises, including a new store in Tigard. This began my current chapter as a furniture sales professional inspired by design and creative customer solutions. On a personal note, I remain a big fan of wine, food, and travel. I thoroughly enjoy the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, especially escaping to the coast for beach time or spending time on a lake with friends.

Arizona native who moved to Portland in 2003—sight unseen! I’ve spent most of my career in the commercial furniture industry and have a passion for interiors, backed by a degree in Interior Design. I'm really enjoying the transition into the residential furnishings world. Outside of work, I love taking my English Cream Golden Retriever to the Oregon coast, exploring Portland’s incredible restaurants and pubs with friends, and traveling whenever the opportunity arises. I also enjoy discovering new vineyards in the Willamette Valley and taking in the beautiful scenery.

My bookkeeping career began in 1997 and joined the Terris Draheim team as a bookkeeper in December of 2015. I hold a degree in Hotel/Restaurant Administration from Washington State University—Go Cougs! Outside of work, I enjoy walking my two sweet dogs every morning, rain or shine, for the past 14 years. I also love spending time by the ocean, listening to the water and watching the waves roll in. Growing up, I went on many kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and camping trips with my Dad and brothers in a 1967 blue Ford Van, which sparked an appreciation and respect for nature and the outdoors - although, it was always nice to come home to a nice warm bed and shower!
