I'm getting ready to move to Austin, TX in April 2018 for a change of scene and a new job. I'll be starting a position as assistant canvass director for an environmental nonprofit.

I also have this cool business I started about a year ago called TrashyFem. (trashyfem.com) I use it to promote positive face-to-face social and political discussion and human connection.

I have hobbies in the arts that range from film making to writing music. (I'm from Nashville, so no surprise there. No, I actually don't like country music.)

I LOVE good food, wine and whiskey. I'm a huge fan of kayaking! I enjoy trying new things and meeting new people.
