About

Before I used the pandemic's solitude to finish my psychology degree online, I lived an adventurous life. I left New England and headed west at nineteen. I became a massage therapist at twenty-one. I was a tattoo artist in San Francisco and a ranch wife in Southern Idaho who owned an alpaca. I became a mother at 34 and have a beautiful daughter who inspires me to model resilience and balance the best I can. Now it is time to take these experiences and create roots for us both here in New England by giving back to our community. Currently, I am working for a Trauma-Informed Nonprofit as Creative Assistant while I finish the last weeks of my degree. 

​

I find power in creativity and growth. I am passionate about research, nature, the human condition, wellness, and movement. I am revisiting a sense of community after years of travel by rejoining my Unitarian Universalist Church after 25 years. I am writing about my experience in the west shown in these photos. As I create and find direction, I will add content to my site. I hope you enjoy these memories.
