About

I am a creative problem solver open to learning and growing. I am also open to relocating &/or telecommuting.

I am passionate and exceptionally organized. I also enjoy reading, writing, photography, yoga, indoor rock climbing, kayaking, and container gardening.

Some of my goals for 2021 include completing yoga teacher training, learning how to lead climb, and relearning German.
