I’ve worked for the Town of Friday Harbor in the finance office for over five years and love my job. I have tons of interaction with the public and work with a great crew. I volunteer with the Town Fire Department along with my husband; and when we aren’t volunteering or working- we love to golf and read. It is very exciting to be working our EMS crew and Hospital staff. It’s a wonderful opportunity and I’m look forward to the challenge of learning.
