Paige joined the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission in October 2021 as the Administrative Officer. In her role, she oversees grant and contract administration, office operations, accounting support, and event planning.
As a Wenatchee native, Paige grew up with a strong appreciation for the local agriculture industry. Her first job at 16 was sorting cherries, and during her college summers, she worked as a cherry inspector for the State of Washington. She is grateful to now work in a field that represents both her valley and her state.
Paige holds a bachelor’s degree in IT Administrative Management from Central Washington University and a Master of Legal Studies from Arizona State University. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her four children, Michael, Elsie, Isla, and Alice, and her partner, Brandon. Together, they spend summers camping throughout the Pacific Northwest in their travel trailer and winters skiing and snowboarding. They also love to travel and look forward to their annual trip to Mexico as a family.
