About Me

I'm constantly looking for adventures through travel, rock climbing, and meeting new people.
I grew up in Texas and worked at a ranch camp teaching horseback riding and sharing my love of nature with kids.
I studied mechanical and aerospace engineering in New York, and then moved to Los Angeles to design and build spacecraft.

I'm taking a year off to travel the world with my husband!

Music, Movies, and Books

My recent favorite book is The Name of the Wind (I can't wait for the third book to come out!)

I like folk music and indie rock, and I'm always looking for new music suggestions!

As a space nerd, I like Star Wars! I also like adventure/climbing movies like Reel Rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Temple Crag in the Sierras.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am working on learning Spanish, so I am excited to find patient friends to practice with. I'm happy to help others learn English, or introduce friends to rock climbing!
