I grew up in the suburbs of Houston, Texas then lived in Austin for over 6 years before leaving for some open-ended adventures. Since then I have lived and worked in New Zealand, Japan, Guatemala, and Alaska. I've been living in Bozeman, Montana on and off since 2016. Along with all the moves, I've had many job titles: yoga teacher, snowboard instructor, glacier guide, sushi chef, and now I'm a software engineer. I love the outdoors - trail running, climbing, snowboarding, ski touring, and photography.
I love cats and dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaked 14 miles and camped out in the Tracy Arm Fjord. Amazing experience seeing the Sawyer glacier calve, navigating through iceburgs, and seeing dolphins and seals pop up and swim next to me! Seems like a dream still.

I can share about training for trail running. Trails around Bozeman and the greater Yellowstone area.
