About the Girl
I'm a southern native who traded the Appalachians for the Rockies and have never looked back.
Growing up in North Carolina and summering in the western part of the state sparked my love of the outdoors—specifically the mountains—at a young age. That passion grew into one that longed for exploration, for world travel, for risk-taking and adventure—for more.
In February 2020, I made the decision to uproot the life I had known for 30 years in North Carolina to start anew in Colorado.
About the Girl
Some Fun Facts:
- I am working on summiting all 58 of Colorado's highest peaks, known as the fourteeners —mountains that rise 14,000+ feet above sea level. I've completed 32 so far!
- Other than the United States, I have traveled to 9 other countries—New Zealand and Indonesia stole my heart.
- I'm a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and student working towards my 500-hour certification!
- When I'm not on top of a 14er or standing on my hands, you can find me riding my mountain bike, stand-up paddleboarding on a nearby alpine lake, modifying and overlanding in my beloved Toyota 4Runner, or seeking my next passport stamp.
