Florida born and raised, bus ride lover, spicy food fan, tree climber, first to the jam circle, cold water chaser, avid volunteerist, novice woodworker, lover of group daydreaming, permaculture advocate, splunker...my friends say I make amazing veggie tacos. I love to make meals out of the stuff people forgot they had in their pantry/fridge. Hiking rox my wool socks. I love Cascadia!
