of Residence Life and Chief Judicial Officer Kimberlee is originally from Pullman, Washington, where she grew up and attended Washington State University. She graduated with undergraduate degrees in both political science and education, and a master's degree in education with an emphasis in counseling psychology. Kimberlee left the picturesque rolling hills of the Palouse to enter the field of student affairs in Residence Life at Whittier College in Whittier, California, and then on to the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles, where she helped both schools implement their first Faculty Residential College programs. In 1995, Kimberlee moved back to Washington as director of Residence Life at Seattle Pacific University. She was later given the additional title of chief judicial officer. At SPU, she has successfully developed a residential learning program for student leaders; her department has received top national rankings in assessment surveys for student satisfaction with the residential programs. Kimberlee is passionate about educating students and creating inclusive "living-learning" communities on campus. She is equally devoted to her husband, Jim, and their three children. The family's favorite Northwest outings include boating, skiing, or walking their standard poodle. Kimberlee also enjoys the people of other cultures and has traveled to more than 35 countries.

She often finds new recipes to try from her cookbook collection and, of course, the Food Network.

She holds a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Westmont College and a master's degree in sport and exercise leadership from Seattle Pacific University.

Lynnea started working in Residence Life at SPU in 2002, and has since worked in Moyer, Hill, and Emerson residence halls, as well as serving two years as a resident director at Pepperdine University.

She has a love for cooking meatless meals, gardening, biking, and doing just about anything with her husband and dog.

Residence Life Coordinator Annabell DuMez was born and raised in a fantastic family in Oostburg, Wisconsin, one mile from Lake Michigan. After high school, she moved west to Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa, where she received her bachelor's degree in communication, HR/PR. Finding a passion for residence life during college, she journeyed to California to work at Fresno Pacific University as an RLC.

Annabell has spent the last six summers on Vancouver Island with family and has loved the Pacific Northwest since she was a child. She says that to finally call it home is a dream come true. In her spare time, she will most likely be found in the city experiencing theatre, art, nature, coffee, or simply riding a bus or ferry, taking it all in and enjoying the next challenge.

She believes life is lived best in community, and is committed to establishing vibrant living and learning communities.

Assistant Residence Life Coordinator Tim was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. After 21 years in the Hoosier state, he trekked south to attend Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida. He later returned to Indiana, and in 2003 graduated from Indiana University with a B.A. in general studies. He currently attends The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology where he is pursuing his M.A. in counseling psychology. Before moving to Seattle in the fall of 2010, Tim and his wife, Rachel, lived in Atlanta, Georgia, where he served as a singles ministry director at North Point Community Church. Although they loved their roles in their home church, and left good friends in the southeast for their move across the country, they are already claiming Seattle as home, enjoying the always varying, layer-requiring, Seattle weather. In addition to Tim's mild obsession with skiing and snowboarding, he and Rachel love spending time on the water and in the mountains and have a habit of making last-minute travel plans. However, more than anything else, Tim loves kicking back with close friends over good food and great stories. |
