I’ve always loved the quality and fun colors of my Isle board so it was a natural fit when the opportunity came up to become an ambassador. I love to be outdoors, especially on an alpine in the Pacific Northwest so I always have my paddle board with me.

I’m currently living it! During the pandemic my boyfriend went through a really difficult cancer battle. That event was the catalyst to take a risk and leave my full time pharmacist job and buy a van. For the past 2 years my boyfriend and I have been traveling full time in our Sprinter van across North America as well as slow traveling internationally. We’ve been on an adventure of a lifetime spending winters in Baja, Mexico and summers between the mountains of Washington and exploring Europe.

Being on the water transports me back to childhood summers; endless days with friends floating on the lake and camping. I have a belief that the more we pursue those things that made us happy as children, the happier we will be as adults. So now I chase summer and outdoor adventures to find that inner joy and peace. My happy place is on a paddle board on an alpine lake with a warm breeze, sunshine, and birdsongs.

For over 10 years, I have been working (procrastinating) on a memoir about the passing of my husband from cancer in our 20’s and my experiences traveling the world solo in an attempt to find some healing. I hope someday I can finish my story. I’m also endlessly trying to learn Spanish as well as perfect my latte art.

I take sustainability and the state of our planet incredibly seriously. For as long as I can remember, I’ve tried to live in a way that has as little impact as possible. Although travel is not the most environmentally friendly thing to do, I am grateful to be able to travel slowly. I work hard to leave a place better than I found it, support locally owned businesses, and stand for diversity and inclusiveness. Hopefully my actions set an example for others who may be watching.
