I've always been a traveler, and there is no one state I consider home. I've lived in Anchorage (AK), Seattle (WA), Slidell (LA), Eureka (CA), Maineville (OH), and now Austin (TX).

In the last year, I've walked over 1,200 miles; I completed El Camino Frances last October and hiked a good portion of the Appalachian Trail this spring and summer.

I have worked in a lot of different types of positions, but I am a consistent dog-sitter, and I do that to get by while I figure out exactly what direction I want to take my career.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
