I grew up on a little island in Maine, and The National Parks are the foundation for who I am. My folks were both biologists for the NPS, and my childhood was spent doing field studies alongside my pops, being quizzed on botanical facts by my ma, and running wild outside. I believe deeply in conservation and that there's a unique opportunity to empower the best folks by telling stories of our greatest capability, love, through wild places. I've been a dog mama for 5 years now, and there's nothing in this world sweeter (or sassier) than my Fern. We have the best adventure partner, lover, and human in my guy Jay & I've learned a lot about the work I do through our relationship. We're not your average folks, we live in a tiny-house (yeah, its pretty much the cutest mini-house on wheels ever) now, & used to live off-grid in a cabin. We had a creek for water, dishes & bathing, & an outdoor kitchen. I'm relatively addicted to coffee-shops, wild flowers, lists & snail mail. Oh, and dogs, I just love dogs. Now, let's be friends.
