I am many things, and sometimes it feels strange how all of it can be wrapped up into one person. I am a woman in my mid-thirties. I am a mother and sister. A legal alien. A college graduate. A rescue animal advocate. A nature lover. And a good friend, listener, and protector. I find immense value in a good cup of coffee, a book that stays with you long after reading, the quiet of night, a family meal, and the comforting rhythms of daily life, the seasons, and familiar faces.

“Whatever makes you feel the sun from the inside out, chase that!”

I am somewhat of a modern nomad with roots everywhere and nowhere. I find pride in making life around me beautiful, spreading kindness wherever I go and collecting memories as colorful as my travel sticker collection. Love, light, and gratitude, that’s my motto. Humbly and sincerely. I believe that the light you shine and share will always be reflected back.
