Serah’s initial interest in planning was the result of many visits to Portland to see a friend. Looking for a way to move here permanently, Serah began exploring the options at Portland State University. The Master of Urban and Regional Planning program caught her eye and the rest, she says, is history. Outside of work, you can find Serah camping by a river with her family or tending to her garden. Serah is also involved in her neighborhood association and serves as Board Treasurer for the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association (OAPA).
