EXPERIENCE
Wait, there is more!
Here are some things that make my heart sing:
Hearing a song that brings up a really old, happy memory. I was recently listening to Spotify, and a Carpenters song came on. I knew every single word- even though I am sure I haven’t heard it in over 20 years. It made me think of my mom and my early childhood, and happiness washed over me.
Dogs. I hope to one day own a ranch where I can have 100 dogs and help them to live their happiest lives.
Playing in nature. Specifically: Midnight skiing in Norway, beaching and hiking in Rio de Janeiro, and backpacking in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming.
Consistent and fast internet.
Ice-cold Diet Coke.
Traveling for the sole reason of eating all of the food.
Building/remodeling. My dad is a General Contractor, and I worked on his crew every summer from the age of 12 through my last year of college. I know how to do just about everything construction-related, and I am immensely proud of this. I love making things more beautiful, functional, and better.
Creating music. I am a singer/songwriter since my youth, and this has been the most wonderful creative outlet for me.
