Desiree F

I am an educator through and through. I have been working with students from kindergarten to 12th grade for the last 32 years and am looking for that next challenge and opportunity for contribution to our industry. I am a native Oregonian, who ran to the east all the way to Germany and then found my way back to my hometown when I had my children.

I have been back in Portland for the last 24 years. I love the beach and the mountains so the PNW is the best place to explore both those passions. I am looking forward to finding that next adventure to continue contributing the success of those that I have the honor of working with.
