About

I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, our two dogs, and whichever DIY project we’re attempting that month. We live inside the city but hope to one day move past city limits on a few acres in the ‘forever house’. You can usually find me in the kitchen, drinking coffee and reorganizing the dishwasher.

20 things you didn’t know about me:

1. I lived in Maui, Hawaii for nearly 10 years!
2. I spent time working in women’s fashion (store manager of BCBG!)
3. My husband and I eloped in the U.K…. in Cambridge, on a punting boat! We also prepped all the food for our 85 person reception back home!
4. I’ve done a triathlon.
5. I’ve been scuba diving all the way to 106 feet deep.
6. I’m a frequent practicer of Hot Yoga!
7. We’ve hosted over 350 people in our home on Airbnb!
8. I worked on a boat for 4 years! Snorkeling, whale watching, and fishing!
9. When you work on a boat, don’t go to work hungover. #twentythree
10. I ate processed food (so many Tostinos) until I became vegan and learned how to cook!
11. I’ve eaten at the James Beard House. Multiple times. #NBD
12. I’m a triple Virgo aka analytical mastermind. Yes, sometimes it hurts.
13. The hubs and I flew to Nebraska to buy my Tacoma for a great price, then road-tripped back to Oregon. Hailstones the size of clementines damaged my 2 day old truck at Mt. Rushmore. Yey, midwest.
14. I remember dial-up AOL. EEEE-AHHH-EEE-AH-EE-AH
15. I will find any skin imperfection and destroy it.
16. My husband and I purchased a foreclosed fixer-upper. Insanity ensued.
17. I consider myself a technical marketer.
18. I started my first job when I was 14 at a local coffee shop. And worked in coffee for 6 years. (Any other partners out there?)
19. Every time I’m on a long-distance flight I get blood clot to the brain anxiety. Thanks, internet.
20. I memorized every word to Sir Mix A Lot’s ‘Baby Got Back’ in high school, and still know it to this day.
