I am an ISA Certified Arborist (PN-9290A), Qualified Tree Risk Assessor (TRAQ), and NUCA DigSafe Certified professional with extensive experience in hazard tree evaluation, canopy management, and tree-related permitting throughout the Puget Sound region. As Founder and Operations Manager of Sound Tree Care LLC, I oversee technical removals, TRAQ assessments, arborist reporting, and day-to-day coordination with homeowners, contractors, and municipal agencies. My work spans steep-slope ECAs, environmentally critical zones, urban canopy management, and high-risk removals near homes, utilities, and public infrastructure. I combine industry-standard best practices (ANSI A300, ISA BMPs) with site-specific judgment developed through years of field experience. My mission is to deliver safe, compliant, and ethical arboricultural solutions rooted in science, transparency, and professional integrity.
