I grew up in Ballwin, MO, near St. Louis and went to college at Concordia University in Nebraska, where I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and Illustration. When I graduated, I left the corn fields behind to move to beautiful Steamboat Springs, CO in 2014. I worked as a graphic designer there for 4 years, but spent most of my time hiking, biking, floating the river, rock climbing, camping, skiing, and snowboarding. I moved to Fort Collins about a year and a half ago to be closer to family and got a job at Madwire shortly after. I spend my free time playing games, going dancing, creating artwork, volunteering at Rescue Mission, watching movies, going to Bible study, and traveling whenever and wherever I can. I love all outdoor activities and I’m always down for crazy adventures or social happy hours, and I have an awesome 4.5 year old dog named River. Some random facts about me are as follows:

-I have broken 9 bones in my life

-I’m obsessed with animals

-I used to be a junior olympic gymnast

-I quote The Office far too often

-I’m a sucker for sunsets, starry nights, and flowers

-I will always say yes to sushi, Thai food, or ice cream

-Hot air balloons, thunderstorms, and roller coasters make me happy

-I have floated in the dead sea and have ridden both a camel and an elephant

-I’m pretty passionate about indie and alternative music

-About Time is my favorite movie
