Family, travel, animals, nature, art, service, learning, and humor—these are the areas of my life that consistently hold the most value for me, in no particular order. I live in Minneapolis with my husband, daughters, and our rescue pets of all shapes and sizes. Our family loves to hike, and we often find ourselves in the north woods exploring new trails. Travel has been a long-standing passion of mine; I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. As a perpetually curious person, I am a lifelong learner and usually have several books and podcasts going at once. Most weekends, you will find me hanging out with friends and family, working in my studio, or exploring a new thrift store.
