About me … as a person

I live outside of Boulder, CO

and spend my free time hiking, trail running, backpacking, and generally getting outside and enjoying what the beautiful Colorado landscape has to offer.

Fun fact:

I’ve lived in every time zone in the contiguous United States

Grew up in the Bay Area

Finished school and went to college in Minnesota

Grad school in Boston

Rooted in Colorado

I’m obsessed with plants and growing things

Not just my indoor ones (which number over 70!!!) but also restorative, regenerative urban gardening.

I’m an avid reader,

everything from sci-fi and fantasy to psychology and history.

Some of my favorite authors are James Clear, Brené Brown, Louise Penny, and Alexandre Dumas.

“The courage to be vulnerable is not about winning or losing, it's about the courage to show up when you can't predict or control the outcome.”

Brené Brown, Dare to Lead
