I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i and lived in both Southern and Northern California during my undergraduate and graduate career. I now live in Denver, Colorado. Living in such beautiful parts of the country has inspired a deep love for the outdoors and I spend many weekends hiking, trail running, and camping.

Growing up near the ocean, aquatic sports have been a huge part of my life. I swam and played water polo throughout high school and college and now have the honor of doing both with Denver Squid.

I currently live in Denver, Colorado with my husband, Marc, and my three dogs, Doug, Milo and Dot.
