I refuse to give into complacency that comes from settling into life. Trying new things and being willing to give up fear is important to me. I studied plants and language, two passions of my life, and used them as an excuse to travel all over the world, and will keep that up!

MOTTO: If opportunity is an open door, don't be afraid to walk through it.

LOVES: anything to do with wine, nourishing the world, meeting new people, discussing anything (preferably to those with open ears), and learning about new ideas.

Currently: I work as a freelance content creator to fund all of my wonky lifestyle choices. I am on my way to England this fall to start my graduate program in Landscape Architecture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived and worked in the Honduran rainforest. We were promoting sustainable farming among the local farmers and trying to get rid of harmful practices that they were using at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a degree in horticulture with a focus on sustainability. I love talking about it and working in the dirt. If you need to ask questions about houseplants, vegetable gardens, or larger projects, I would love to give any plant advice I have!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories and Laughter. I love to hear and share stories from people's travels around the world. I am always ready to hear someone's favorite tale or to share one myself.
