Lauren Jarrett

What I do at Resolutions Northwest: I am building a development department so that Resolutions Northwest programs have the capacity to continue doing their fine work in the community.

Favorite spot in Portland to relax: I like Laurelhurst and Washington Parks for walks, any Starbucks for a latte, and French or Italian restaurants for dinner.

What famous person (living or dead) do you most identify with and why: Georgia O'Keeffe, eccentric painter and explorer of the Southwest landscape

Live in: Extreme NW, actually out in the woods in Helvetia where the farm fields meet the forest, with a view to the beginning of the Coast Range. It is almost too wild for a gardener like myself, but it is beautiful and very rural.

Grew up in Connecticut with 3 siblings

Fall, winter, spring or summer and why? Autumn used to be my favorite, but the rain here has changed that, the winters are very long and grey. I looked forward to spring, but the rain has challenged that, the gardener in me is still hoping for summer.

Jitterbug, disco, salsa or funky chicken and why Prefer hiking.
