I have retired from a long-time working as a Public Heath Nurse in Humboldt County (28yrs.) I then went back to my alma mater and acheived a BA in music (my 2nd Love) in May, 2009. I'm not doing too much now--recovering from my open heart surgery last July. I really enjoy helping my 2 young granddaughters, ages 5 and 7 with their piano lessons. That's all for now!

After 18 years as a public servant (National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service), I left the agencies to teach environmnetal education full time. After another 18 years of doing just that, the bottom has now fallen out of my funding, so I'm back to rangering again! My husband and I also farm organically, with the help of our mules, and have homesteaded in the upper Skagit (near North Cascades National Park)for almost 30 years. Vistors are always welcome!

Retired in '06 from 25 years teaching elementary school. Now work seasonally for the US Forest Service in El Dorado National Forest (for the last 5 years.)

I received a Master of Arts in Special Education from SF State University in 2008 and now work as a Guide Dog Mobility Instructor at Guide Dogs for the Blind in the SF Bay Area.

So thankful that HSU is still going strong, providing excellent educational and training programs for her students. My years at HSU set me up for success in my chosen field of special ed-speech path, and changed my life forever. Keep the dreams alive!

After graduation I spent three summers working as a hiking/backcountry guide in Skagway, Alaska. I now live in Lake Tahoe and enjoy any and all outdoor activities on a daily basis (especially rock climbing in the summer, and skiing in the winter). I currently work for the City of South Lake Tahoe as the Environmental Programs Analyst. I have also recently become engaged and will be married next August. I'm looking forward to a road trip to Humboldt so I can show my fiance the amazing campus at HSU, the redwoods and the incredible coastline!

Just comlpeted a career-crowning project: restoration of a degraded wetland site in the middle of the Mount San Jacinto State Wilderness. Coordinating State Park, CCC, Army National Guard, and several vendors' resources, we overcame controversy and successfully implemented a project to repair a rare and fragile montane meadow. To do so required legislation to allow use of heavy equipment for a restoration project in State Wilderness, and we did so with an absolute minimum of public or environmental impact.

Kathi recently relocated to Seattle, WA to begin work as Director of Housing & Residence Life at Seattle University. She is joined in Seattle by her husband, James, and three children (Adam-6, Sarah-5, and Ethan-19 months).

I'm applying for grad schools and need to take the GRE. I'm not in the area anymore. Can you send me a GRE fee waiver form to my address above? I called the GRE hotline and they said to contact my undergraduate school for a GRE fee waiver form.

I have been the Cascade County Planning Director since Aug. 2010.
