Get to know me:

I love being outside in nature as I find it to be rejuvenating and peaceful. I love the beach and mountains pretty equally. Traveling and experiencing new places and cultures has always been very important to me. I’ve been to 12 countries and have a goal of visiting all 50 states. Going to concerts is one of my favorite things to do, especially those held outdoors throughout the summer months. I’m an avid reader who will read almost anything and want to talk about it. I love spending time with my partner, friends, family, and dog Obi.
