About Me

I have an amazing energetic little girl, a darling hubby, and two cats. We live in the suburbs, just outside Portland. I'm a bit of a geek and can often be found behind my computer. I love nature, especially the beach, but also have an inner Jersey girl in me that comes out in odd ways.

I can not kill bugs, and prefer them to be escorted outside the house when the sneak in. Chocolate, red wine, good beer, pasta of any type... I could live on these foods alone. I love road trips, big cities, and small funky towns. I have driven cross country four times, with trips ranging from five days to two months.

I grew up in New Jersey, just outside NYC. After a couple years of art school in the city, I moved 90 miles north to a small town in the Hudson Valley, where I earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts photography. Little did I know I would spend almost ten years of my life in the small town of New Paltz. Eventually I found my way out west, and have lived between Seattle and Portland for quite some time now.
