Me

Some fun facts about me: I was born and raised in rural Arizona, where I was a Girl Scout, theatre kid, and on the swim team for 12 years.

I served as an AmeriCorps VISTA in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, where I summitted Mount Blanca and the Great Sand Dunes, and met my partner.

We now live together with our sweet daughter and funny little dog in northeast Ohio.

(Yes – I have, somehow, adjusted to the winters!).

I love knitting, creating mixed-media art, writing, and foraging blackberries and morels in my backyard.

I can’t wait to work with you!
