ABOUT ME

just made a move to Austin following 4 months of traveling around the states & Canada - time for a change after 5 years in San Diego. super excited to explore this awesome place & get settled here for a bit. adore my friends + family and would do absolutely anything for them...i love making the special people in my life happy. major passion for food. i tear up in parts of movies that i'm sure to be teased for later. i love running and pretty much any activity that allows me to be outside. mother nature makes my heart beat like none other. john muir is on my list of major idols. i love to meet new people, be challenged, explore everything, & constantly strive to be better. love giggles, sparklers, bubbles, & hugs.
