I'm So Glad You're Here

Fun Facts

• I’m an intersectional feminist with a deep passion for protecting and advancing the rights of women and girls.
• Born and raised in New Jersey, I've also lived in Montreal, St. Louis, France, the Netherlands, and Washington, DC prior to settling in Austin, TX with my husband, Chris.
• In my mid-twenties, I spent 3 years working with women peace activists in Pakistan to counter violent extremism. It was the most challenging time of my life, yet awe-inspiring and life-changing in countless ways.
• I’m a highly empathetic introvert who thrives in small, intimate settings. Crowds are my worst nightmare. As are loud noises and anything involving festivals, amusement parks, and busy supermarkets.
• I feel most at peace in the ocean and am very much a water baby. (Hey, fellow Aquarians!)
• I'm obsessed with my dog, Frankie. Ok, I'm obsessed with all dogs.
• I love learning and am on a constant quest to grow and challenge myself. In my free time, I enjoy reading, yoga, taking long walks while listening to podcasts, cooking and baking, trying new restaurants, planning trips and exploring new places, and watching comedies (especially Parks & Rec) and British dramas “with a strong female lead.”
• Speaking of which... Leslie Knope is my spirit animal.
