I’m an adventurer. A seeker. A thinker. A doer. To me, life is an opportunity. An opportunity for adventure and taking risks. An opportunity to make a difference, not only in my own backyard, but as far as I can reach. Yes, I’m only one person. But I do believe that one person can change the world in significant ways. Maybe not all at once and maybe not quickly but positive change gains momentum with each person that pays it forward. And it starts here.

My adventure in life really started when I sold nearly everything I owned to live out of a backpack for two years. I traveled the globe, visiting places most people only dream about. To earn a living, I became a “digital nomad” teaching myself website design and SEO. I quickly gained expertise that helped Kinseyco take off. During this time, I was so moved by the places I visited and the people I met, that I felt a mission for my future taking shape. A future where I could be a part of something much bigger than myself.

My vehicle of choice for this mission is Kinseyco. An international digital marketing agency that I founded in 2016. Kinseyco partners with creative experts to create sustainable income opportunities for women around the world. The goal is to support economic empowerment of women in developing countries. What gets me out of bed every day is knowing that the projects Kinseyco is working on helps a woman support herself, her family, and her career. My ten-year goal is to build a school for women where they can learn technology skills that will prepare them for sustainable careers.

At home in Des Moines, I am an active member of the small business community and startup culture.
I'm a very respectful person and always live by the mantra to leave a place better than you found it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the classics and my favorite book is Jane Eyre, but always down for a murder mystery.
