This account used to be co-owned by my sister, Hanna, and I. Any references will mention both of us. Thank you!

I was born and raised in Oakland, CA by a wayfaring hippy mother. Ive been fortunate enough to spent most of my life moving around the country, from the Navajo Indian Reservation/Window Rock, AZ to Portland, OR and now back to my current home in Oakland, CA.

"Courtney is 23 and finding her way in and out of school. Courtney's sharp wit and affinity for throwing shade will immediately make an impression. However, you will also find that on the inside she is a sensitive, genuine, caring and deeply empathetic human being. She knows every lyric (including backup vocals) to popular songs. Courtney takes it personally when someone honks in the surrounding area." - My Sister, Hanna.

When Im not in school, I enjoy the life of a road warrior. My summers are spent in the mountains hiking and camping; In June 2015 my sister and I were in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks for 10 days. I haven't been able to top this trip yet.
