I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago where I ran a babysitting business with my little sister and best friend all through high-school. When I turned 18 I attended an alternative-education travel program called LEAPNOW through Antioch University. I spent a semester studying in India and then a semester working on a marketing team for a hostel in Melbourne, Australia. Traveling is a huge passion of mine, I love exploring new places, and going on outdoor adventures like hiking, mountain climbing, and scuba-diving.

I just moved to Jacksonville, Florida after living in Virginia for 3 years with my giant Bernese Mountain dog named Sunday. Our weekends usually involve going to the beach, breweries, coffee shops, and hiking in the woods with friends!
