Her solid work ethic continued as she moved into the bar business, leading her to become the successful owner of two iconic Portland watering holes, The Cheerful Tortoise and The Cheerful Bullpen. With 24 years of business experience, she is now bringing her heart and drive for the need for change in our education system and running for the West Linn Wilsonville School Board Position 4.
