Nature is my refuge — especially walking in the rain. I’m warm, curious and love a good adventure. I am happiest somewhere between a deep conversation and laughing about something ridiculous. I love painting, reading, good coffee, long walks, travel and discovering other cultures. I’m a mom of two, an English teacher at heart, and now work in the non-profit world. I’m intentional about making choices from courage rather than fear — to live life bravely, fully alive, noticing the little things, embracing adventure and saying yes to this beautiful, messy life.
