I have lived in the North East Kingdom my whole life. I enjoy Cross Country Skiing, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Open Water Swimming, Chickens, Dogs and I am a Badass Biker Chick that can shred dirt like the boys.

I live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy cooking and baking to fuel my body.

Ask me about the pineapples I grow.
