CURRENT MISSION

To live life acutely aware that all living beings are deeply interconnected- we all need to take care of each other.

ABOUT ME

I currently live and work in Athens, OH, one of my favorite places on Earth. I work at a nonprofit whose goal is to justly transition former coal economies to sustainable, healthy, and resilient communities.

I am a very self-driven learner. I thrive off of experiences that expand my mind and connect me to the world community and nature. Some of my interests include learning languages, all things fiber arts-related (knitting, spinning, crochet, dyeing), reading mostly non-fiction, travel, birding, herbalism, gardening, and my dog and pet rats.

My last name is pronounced like "rainy" day.
