About

I love the handmade, simple pleasures, time outdoors, meals with friends and gardening with my daughter. I value a strong sense of community, authenticity, curiosity, the environment, and kindness.

In my previous career, I did event-planning, marketing, and PR for a non-profit environmental education center in Colorado. I have lived in Brooklyn, Marin County, Boston, Chicago, Asheville, Aspen, and Carbondale (Colorado) but now call Santa Cruz, California home.

My work has been in USA TODAY, Rollingstone.com, Rock and Ice magazine, Glide Magazine, Edible Aspen, Aspen Magazine, The Laurel of Asheville, Capital at Play, Plough to Pantry, Aspen Daily News, Aspen Public Radio, Aspen Business Journal, and more.
