The night before graduation a few of us took Rachel Pipo out for a “spin” around Poulbso... we essentially blind folded and kidnapped her. I drove around in my mom’s huge station wagon going in and out of neighborhoods, figure 8s and doughnuts.

Education: Bachelors of Anthropology/ Archaeology from The University of Washington
Career Update: While I was attending The University of Washington I worked in the Luminescence Dating laboratory. It was very interesting since I had to work in the dark and prepare artifacts for the dating process, this was a very memorable job and enjoyed it a lot!
Personal Update: In a nutshell; college, travelling and family! Moved a lot, lived with many different friends (one place ended up being haunted), Travelled to the Philippines to do a 5 week Field school in Archaeology in 2010. We slept in tents and took cold bucket showers outside as we mostly stayed on the island of Palawan, this is where I learned how to excavate an archaeological site. Visited Ireland for 2 weeks and drove around the whole country seeing all the in between villages as well as the bustling cities like Dublin and Belfast. Took a 2 week road trip to Yellowstone with my good friend Deanna (lots of funny stories and memories were made there :) Soon after I took care of my mom who had early onset Alzheimer’s as I was newly married and soon to be a new mom in 2011. With the birth of my daughter we decided it was best for me to be with her so my adventure of being a SAHM started! Casey and I finally got our honeymoon 2 years later to Mexico! We were there during El Dia de Los Muertos and got to see turtles hatching on the beach and scrambling back into the ocean, it was so special! We also discovered that you can apparently ATV to a tequila farm and do tastings, jump into the river and go swimming and then ATV back under a constant canopy of banana spiders, EEK!

Career Update: Kevin Sheen and I started the Poulsbo Film Festival in 2022, and are the owners of Away With Words Bookshop in Downtown Poulsbo since January 2023. We specialize in a fun variety of books, self care items, and fun gifts including locallymade goods.
Personal Update: After graduation I moved to Arizona to attend ASU, and I ended up living in Arizona from 2003 to 2018 working a variety of very interesting jobs including being business editor for a Nephrology magazine, sales assistant for a bus dealership, docket clerk for a law firm, and strategic planning project coordinator for a large hospital system. Both of my sons were born while I lived in Arizona and I wanted a slower-paced life and more time at home while they were young so I moved back to Poulsbo (and back into my childhood home which is wild!) in the fall of 2018. I have become very involved in the Poulsbo community and have rekindled lots of old friendships with others who have returned to Kitsap also (or never left). Kevin and I reconnected during the pandemic and got married in 2022 which was literally the busiest year of our lives between the wedding, starting the Poulsbo Film Festival (year two is October 13-15 2023) and buying Away With Words Bookshop right after Christmas. I currently serve as the President of the Historic Downtown Poulsbo Association, I am a new member of Kitsap Crossroads Rotary, and am very proud to be a small business owner. Our kids are very busy participating in lots of local sports- which is so fun. It is literally nuts to be married to your prom date, 20 years later, after spending so much time apart. How are we THIS old?!
Favorite Local Spot: Oxalis on Viking Way is hands down the best food! But, Downtown Poulsbo is hard to beat - so many gems. Brass Kraken or the Loft for the perfect view, Viking Brew Coffee
Favorite Vacation Spot: A tie between London and Kauai
Best HighSchool Memory: Tough one! One of them would have to be sunbathing on the roof of the auditorium with Shannon Hildebrand because we were entrusted with keys. (oops! sorry NKHS) The choir trip to New York was definitely a highlight, and all of the shenanigans back stage at the musicals and plays. I LOVED the high school experience and felt fortunate that I was able to be friends with people from all different ‘cliques’ because of yearbook and choir and theater and student government.

Best HighSchool Memory: Oh my goodness, it’s so hard to pick out one memory as the best one out of so many good memories, but I think my best high school memory is Senior Prom. It was such a fun, fancy night out!
Personal Update: Geez, trying to recap 20 years of life AFTER high school makes me feel so OLD, ha! All of the other questions hit most of the highlights, but our most recent update is that we FINALLY moved into our beautiful new home after three long heartbreaking and bank breaking years. It is a LONG story. We signed a contract in June of 2020 to purchase a new home that was supposed to be built in 6 to 9 months. The developer blamed delays on COVID while funneling money from home buyers to fund his gubernatorial campaign instead of funding construction of the homes. In March of 2022, our family (along with several other families) realized that we lost our new home and all of the money we had invested in the construction of our new home when the developer foreclosed and the bank took control of the properties. In April of 2022, we signed a new contract with a new developer in the same neighborhood to build our dream home. On April 28, 2023 we got the keys to our gorgeous new house and are happily (but painfully slowly, lol) settling in.
