A lifelong Oregonian, Marie loves exploring nature with either her running shoes or her camera. She has always been motivated to help others, which led her to pursue a degree in Human Development & Family Sciences from Oregon State University. With over 14 years of experience in social services, Marie brings resourcefulness and compassion to the team. At the Fund, she dedicates her time to helping FA families navigate the Fanconi anemia world in any way she can: “It’s a great feeling to be someone’s hero for a moment.” She strives to make a difference in people’s lives and also has a huge heart for animals. In her free time, she enjoys running, photography, going to the beach and spending time with friends, family, and her cat, Chloe.
