What is your favorite book/article?
Voices in the Ocean by Susan Casey

Where is your hometown? How did it shape who you are today?
Portland, Oregon! It has shaped me into a lover of local breweries, diverse wineries, food trucks, obsessive baristas, urban gardening, and my love of the outdoors.

Favorite Meal?
If there is anything in this world that I could eat forever and never grow tired of then it would be pizza. Hot baked bread with melted cheese, sausage, and veggies along with a dash of sauce, it’s too irresistible and too good to be passed down.
