About Me
My deepest passions include adventuring outdoors and being in nature, traveling, health & wellness, meditation, moving my body (especially through trail running, biking, a challenging hike or yoga), reading a good book, connecting with community, sharing the biggest smiles, eating endless fruits & vegetables, and caring for our planet. Each day I continue striving towards a deeper sense of meaning in my life through aligning with these passions.
