I'm a high school English teacher turned virtual educator, whitewater raft guide, waitress, barista, college advisor, women's ministry director, writer, speaker, traveler, trivia night host, event planner... oh, and photographer! 😜 I'm into Star Wars, food of all kinds, The Office, nature, video games, cheesy memes, and learning about anything and everything. 🤓
It's been said that I have a "zest for life", and I really do love all the delight and wonder there is to be had in this world. It's always a blast to chat with students throughout sessions and watch them light up as they share what they're into. It's great to watch parents relax as I play with their kids or make the whole family laugh for joy-filled photos. I honestly feel honored to be able to share time with so many different people in this line of work.
I've always been very... connected to nature (as you can see here, haha). Being an only child raised on an ostrich ranch in Oregon will do that to you!
My other jobs have included barista, waitress, college admissions, whitewater raft guide, high school English teacher, and many more!
I've loved anything to do with horses since I was a wee lass at horse camp in Washington.
My husband and I have been incredibly blessed to have traveled to so many amazing places in this wonderful world.
