About Me

I'm a sanitation professional and just spent the last four years living in Naivasha, Kenya. I helped start a social enterprise that cleans up communities by turning waste into clean energy. Naivasha is an amazing place where I got to spend my evenings running with my yellow lab and giraffes. Now it's time for the next adventure, my partner, Benjamin, and I are off on an 8 month trip before starting graduate school in September 2020.

I'm goofy, optimistic, and always up for a good adventure! My go to state is a combination of flexible and high energy.

When I'm not chatting about social enterprise, you'll find me running, hiking, swimming - basically anything outside, or inside enjoying good chats and hot coffee.

Can't wait to meet you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a half marathon in a national park with helicopters used to keep rhinos and elephants off the race course.
