I grew up in San Diego, CA, then moved to Seattle, WA to study conservation and evolutionary biology at the University of Washington. I've moved back to sunny San Diego to study naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University California. I have a passion for sustainable living and lifestyle choices, the natural world and natural health, and exploring the mind/body connection.

I'm adventurous; I love to explore in nature and in cities alike.
