What I'm Working on Now:

1. Published my first chapbook - a small collection of poetry called Chasing Meteors! You can purchase and download Chasing Meteors - pay what you want.

2. Challenging myself to submit poems to at least one contest or open submission each month in 2024. I did this 11/12 months in 2023 and it turned into plenty of both rejections and publications!

3. A tiny bit of freelance writing work. I’d love to take on another small project or two, like creating monthly blog posts or editing website copy.

What I'm Totally Obsessed With:

1. Processing my 2024 Objective. In May, I attempted a guided summit of Mount Rainier in Washington. However, 70mph winds prevented us from getting very far. I’m still unpacking this trip and how I might want to pursue (or not pursue) mountaineering.

2. Hiking and backpacking. I’ve got the Skyline Trail booked for later in 2024, looking at the North Coast Trail for the summer, and planning on dayhiking the Enchantments in the fall.

3. My second Honda Element, a 2007 EX FWD named Malina. I’m excited to build a bed for this new adventure vehicle and spend my weekends as a dirtbag hiker & climber.
