Originally from Florida, Bonnie has zig-zagged the country pursuing her career goals. Having lived in D.C., Denver, Texas and Iowa, she is happy to be settled down in Washington state. She has Bachelor’s of Science degrees in both Communications and Biology. She earned her Master's here at Central Washington University in 1999 working for Washoe's family, the first chimpanzees to learn American Sign Language. After graduation she worked as a zookeeper and then a real estate marketing and education director. In 2011 Bonnie returned to CWU as associate director of the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute. After the two remaining chimpanzees, Tatu and Loulis, moved to Fauna Foundation, Bonnie joined the Student Union Operations Scheduling team. She finds working with the students to be the most rewarding part of her job.

My primary focus is maintaining the quality and excellence of the Student Union Building, which encompasses not only the physical upkeep of the building, but also the social environment. As the hub of campus activity for both students and staff, it is important that the building is open and welcoming to all. I work with a team of four other full time custodians and several student staff to achieve these goals. A local resident of Ellensburg my entire life, I have many ties to groups both within and outside the university. I have attended Central in the past and appreciate both the administrative and academic sides of working on campus. Happily married for over a year to my wife, Erin. I love chatting with friends, co-workers, and students about the goings on in the world and am a huge geek and nerd of many subjects. I love running 5k's and going with my wife on adventures such as hikes, wine tasting or visiting other places near and far.
