She is a recent San Francisco to Denver transplant, retail sommelier, ‘hype girl’ for the people, fitness geek in her free time and mother to an awesome 5 year old boy, who generally resists summing herself or anyone up in a short sentence bio (How can anyone fit so much of their humanness in a few simple words?). She loves to live intentionally *and* spherically in all directions, and she’s got a lot of deep, well-tested theories on identity and forgiveness!
