From cooking and crocheting to terrarium making, she finds connecting someone to a new experience through storytelling sincerely rewarding.Her love of artisan crafts and trying new things inspired her to try shibori dyeing, silversmithing, and basket weaving. When she’s not reading a new book or on a hike in the best outdoor playground – the Pacific Northwest – you can find her making colorful beaded jewelry or knitting up a cozy sweater while listening to a pop culture podcast. She’s planning on mastering furniture upholstery and learning how to play the drums next.
