I recently transferred from Gresham First Student to Pendleton as the safety manager. I have almost 30 years of experience in training, safety, management, fire/ems, and student transportation. I look forward to serving the community where I grew up as a child. Safety is always our first priority here at First Student.

I’ve lived in Pendleton and the surrounding areas for over 20 years, and I’ve been a transportation dispatcher for the last 4 ½ years. I moved to First Student at the end of the 2022 school year, and I look forward to bringing more safety, communication options, and technology to the Pendleton community.
