A little about me

Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here!

I am an east coast transplant who moved to Washington state in 2015 and fell head over heels in love with the beauty and the lifestyle that encompasses the PNW. I feel most at home when I am getting lost in nature with my pack, indulging my creative nature through sketch and watercolors, and connecting with folks in my community. I enjoy trying new things and exploring new interests (thanks ADHD!), and very much enjoy sharing my experiences with those around me. When I’m not at work you would likely find me puttering about around Olympia or hitting the trails with my partner and our dogs, Macho and Ollie. I feel most inspired and grounded with my hands in the dirt and the sun on my face, but I can also appreciate the peace and comfort found in getting lost in a good book or series, snuggled up on my couch with my pups and cat, Artie.
