Your favorite city in the world is...and why?

It's an island, not a city technically, but I LOVED Kauai. The weather, plants, beaches, and ocean-life were all just incredible!

In your spare time (or if you had spare time), you would absolutely do this:

Take care of my houseplants and outdoor plants, walk my dog, go for a bike ride, or letterpress print.

Share an interesting fact or a special skill:

I hiked the Half Dome trail in Yosemite! It’s about 16 miles long and is 4,800 ft of elevation gain.

Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include…

Emma Watson, Emilia Clarke, & Jenny Lawson

Long-term personal or professional goal:

I'd like to visit every National Park. So far I've been to 5, so I have some work to do!

Favorite quote:

Work smarter, not harder.

Best piece of advice you’ve been given:

It may be generic, but not to take life too seriously. Don't sweat the small things and just enjoy the moments!

What is your favorite way to give back to the community?

I foster cats and kittens for my local humane society.
