my “why”:

I came into this work unexpectedly. I have a deep passion for work that provides stability and hope for those going through the unimaginable. There's something incredible about knowing TGRC is here for people, and that I get to help make that possible.

re-charging & delight-finding:

All of my energy flows through and comes from the natural world. I spend every spare moment hiking, running, or biking -  breathing in this place and feeling so lucky to be here. And, in Montana's ever-long winter, I turn to creative pursuits - writing, knitting, and crafting - to "fill my cup", as they say.
