ABOUT ME

I am creative, open-minded, and energetic. My friends often describe me as confident and comfortable with many people. I was a camp counselor for many years so I really enjoy working with kids. I graduated with a psychology major from UNC-Chapel Hill, and I got my Masters in School Counseling. I love meeting people, listening and getting to know them, and sharing stories. I love to dance (modern, jazz, hip-hop, salsa, contra, and pretty much any other type of dance) and explore cities and towns. I LOVE to hike and breathe in nature's magic. I'm a little kid at heart. :)

PHILOSOPHY

That there is no average, no normal, no ordinary. There is only extraordinary. Extraordinary people, places, things, experiences, life.
Rejoice that it's there, breathe it in, and move forward with intention.
