Kathleen's 1st Blog

Hi and welcome to my blog.

Here's a little background information about me: Five years ago my husband and I decided to make a life change and move to the west coast. He sold his practice and I gave my resignation at my pharmaceutical company and we packed our bags. The plan was that we would move out here and I would go back to school and become a teacher (which has always been my dream). Then my company informed me that I could keep my job and telecommute from the west coast. Since my husband was just opening a new practice, we decided that it would be a good idea for me to stay with my company.

Five years and four kids later I'm now ready to follow my dream and this past January I decided to quit my job (after 17 years in the pharmaceutical industry) and I enrolled in the MAT Program at Willamette. So far I love the MAT program and I look forward to positively impacting the lives of hopefully countless children. I'm hoping to teach upper elementary (4th or 5th grade) or middle school science and I am hoping that my background in science and the pharmaceutical industry will help me become a great teacher.


Currently I live in Camas, WA with my husband and four children. I have three girls ages 7, 6, and 6 weeks old and a little boy who is 3. I also love to run and the great outdoors. Asa family we love to hike and camp and one of our favorite places to go is Mt. St. Helen.
