CURRENT MISSION

Doubling down on the things that matter.

ABOUT ME

I left my full-time job about three years ago to travel and see a different side of life. I spent three months in Europe, completed a yoga teacher training course, and am now working part-time teaching journalism to high school students and going to graduate school for social work. Even though I'm not living out of a backpack anymore, I still take advantage of every opportunity to explore new ways of being in this world.

Interests

Hiking, biking in the city, Ayurvedic cooking, nature photography, somatic yoga, swing dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a chilly evening in August 2005, I saw the Northern Lights appear in the northern Minnesota sky. They danced and breathed upward into the air, until finally their glow was like daylight. I'm sure I heard angels singing right before they faded back into the night.
