Overview
About Me
I am an early childhood educator and a birth doula. I’m always down to talk about reproductive justice!
My husband, Luca, just got his master’s degree in medical and scientific illustration.
We just moved to Fort Collins from Chicago to try and finally settle down and start the next chapter of our life here! We have family in the area and have loved visiting them for many years. We are stoked to finally get to join them in this special place.
We are trying to save money by stringing together some house sits and dog sits, postponing paying rent until we both find solid jobs. It’s hard starting somewhere new. We would be so grateful to have a couch to crash on, here and there, while we do some part time jobs in the area and look for more work. Meeting folks in the area would help a lot with this too! We want to build a community. I can envision a future not too long from now where we will be the hosts, offering our space to those in a pinch! Until then, we are immensely grateful to anyone that offers their home to us.
Some of our past adventures include working in Colorado as dog sled tour guides, and a 3-month coast-to-coast road trip, camping every night in a tent or in our truck.
We love backpacking, cooking, running, and reading.
