I am a sun worshiping, fruit-aholic, plant-based athlete that is on a never-ending journey of self-discovery and natural healing from Hashimoto’s, depression, and more. I love to adventure but I’m also a huge homebody. I’m happily married to my best friend, Nicholas and we currently live in Jacksonville, Florida. Thanks to my husband’s career as a Coast Guard helicopter pilot, we get to pick up our lives every few years and start fresh somewhere new. It is both a blessing and a curse. I am the proud parent of two rescued pups and a rescued kitty. I run marathons (and shorter races) for fun and I like to swim as well. Recently, I’ve started dabbling in triathlons. I was a high school math teacher for over 3 years but I recently decided it wasn’t the path for me. Currently, I’m dabbling in the fitness world and working towards becoming a personal trainer.
This space is a place for me to share things I’ve learned, loved, lost, and more along this journey we call life. It is a place where I’ll share triumphs and trials, happiness and sadness, and strength and vulnerability. It’s a place that I hope will offer encouragement, ignite adventures, and spread compassion. I hope you enjoy following this journey as much as I enjoy creating it. Aloha!
