I was born and raised on the Oregon coast, this is my home, my playground, my life. I care deeply about the people and places in this region. Although I started here, as an adult I chose to stay, to make a life here. Growing up I was exposed to other places and cultures, like South America, Spain, and France, where my mother is from. And while I love to travel, love to explore this amazing planet, I also love the strong connection I have to my home here.
