I was born and raised in beautiful Upstate New York which shaped my love for the great outdoors. I enjoy hiking, snowboarding and exploring the Catskill mountains. I've always had some kind of movement in my life whether it was through yoga, dance, or hiking. I have to move my body in order to be fulfilled. Professionally, I am a Marketing Manager for a technology user group. I focus on event marketing which has allowed me to travel all over the world in support of our conferences. Recently, I relocated to Chicago, IL to pursue a professional opportunity.
