Originally from Louisiana, I moved to Colorado in 2018, drawn by my love for the outdoors and activities like hiking and technical rock climbing. The mountains, fresh air, and natural beauty offered more than just adventure—they became a healing space, helping me manage stress and rediscover joy. Through physical challenge in such a breathtaking setting, I developed a deeper appreciation for my body—something I had struggled with after 30 years of dieting. These experiences became a path to self-acceptance and personal growth.

Before settling in Colorado, I spent two years traveling the United States, living life on the road. That journey allowed me to immerse myself in diverse cultures, connect with people from all walks of life, and explore countless National and State Parks. It was a season of discovery, healing, and deep reflection—a foundational chapter in the story that brought me to this work.
