https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/news/assets/Kristen-Dhuse-family.jpg638410One of the most important items in any parent's toolkit is the ability to adapt to unexpected change. It's how we get another meal on the table within minutes of our children spilling their mac and cheese on the floor. Kristen Dhuse discovered the importance of parental improvisation as soon as she and her husband, Ryan, learned they were expecting a child in 2014. Kristen was a successful engineer in the greater Seattle area and had devised a plan to put her professional life on hold while she returned to school in hopes of becoming a software developer.
