28 year old corporate world business lady and arts enthusiast. My friends call me an unusual case - driven and motivated to succeed at nearly impossible challenges and personal goals.

Most weekends I'm up for a hike or outdoor adventure, week nights I often read, paint, or cook.

I've performed (dance or singing) at two venues in Seattle, and I'm booked for one in New York this fall.

Temporarily not accepting guests-dealing with some family illness and traveling myself so scheduling is difficult.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a tiny house...

It was a year I lost 50 pounds, quit smoking, quit drinking, quit meat, started running and reflected on where I wanted to go with my life.

It was the most uncomfortable and real thing I had ever done to live alone in the forest and accept who I was. Personal evolution is an embarrassing and awkward thing - but now it's something I am very proud of. I'm still growing and changing, like all wondrous beings in this world.
