If I’m not writing, you’ll find me:

• Going on hikes with my dog and husband…and stretching the truth to them about the actual distance

• Savoring each bite at one of Portland’s hidden gems

• Sketching out the details for my next trip

• Reading on the couch with my cats, Biggie Smalls and Penny Lane

• Facetiming my mom

• Cooking Italian or Mexican cuisine

• Listening to music (likely a mix of Taylor Swift, A Tribe Called Quest and the Rolling Stones)

• Buying unnecessary but necessary things that I find on TikTok
