Originally from the northeastern US, I have spent months at a time living on the the road, exploring America’s diverse and changing landscapes through camping, WWOOFing on farms, and in intentional communities.

My deep-rooted interests in climate change and nature-based lifestyles led me to study and practice primitive living skills, wild edible and medicinal plants, and permaculture/sustainable agriculture. 

I have drawn upon all of these experiences to weave this adventure story through American landscapes, imagined into the future.

I've practiced yoga and meditation since 2002, when I began my interest and studies in many metaphysical topics.

I completed my Yoga Teacher Training in 2012, and have taught meditation and mindfulness in classrooms, and led public and private earth-based group rituals.

Currently based in Portland, OR, I enjoy bike rides, getting outside, creative events, urban farming, attending local writing groups, tabletop games, dancing, and re-learning to roller skate.
