I come from a long history of strong women. This said my life from a young age was full of both women and men who supported me in being outspoken and confident even though so many young girls today are told to hold back their opinions and be "proper ladies." I attended an arts middle school that fostered my creativity and an all-girls high school that pushed me to be a leader. All this and my parents choice to take my sister and I on multiple international trips throughout my childhood has lead me to be who I am today. A Portland, Oregon raised, traveling enthusiast, with a love of spiritual exploration, open-minded principles, drive to backpack and be in the outdoors, and passion for connecting with people.
