CURRENT MISSION

To discover life's most valuable gems and share them::..

ABOUT ME

I was raised in Fresno, CA, have lived in Utah, Texas, Alaska, Santa Cruz, and now Portland, OR. Traveled around the world but didn't go to a fraction of the places I'd like to see.
I recently worked as the Office Manager of a non-profit group home organization that cares for teens in the probation or child protective services system. I love kids and child-like people! I've worked in food and office management and grew up doing modeling, dancing, gymnastics, singing, am an Eagle Scout, and more. My best friend and I co-parent a snake named Bleu.

PHILOSOPHY

Recently simplified: Live and love, heal and forget, give and get, find understanding and practice patience with those who don't.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
