I was born and raised in Port Orchard, where I attended Burley Glenwood, Cedar Heights, and South Kitsap High School. It was at South Kitsap that I met my husband, and today we’re proud parents of two wonderful children who also attend South Kitsap. My career began in the food industry, starting at the Port Orchard Wendy’s and later working as a barista at Rosedale Market. I then spent about ten years at Kitsap Bank in a variety of roles, and in between, I wrote and published four books that are now available on Amazon and at Hollydays Coffee House. After another decade working in human resources and personnel management for the federal service, I realized my true joy came from making drinks and connecting with people. In 2023, I followed that passion and founded Hollydays Coffee House. We opened our doors in March 2024, and it has been an incredible journey ever since—creating a welcoming space where comfort, quality, and community come together over every cup.
