I am currently living in a forest outside of the small community of Glide in Oregon state. This is a big change for me since I grew up in the city of Seattle. I work for the forest service working with youth and my long term career goals are to work in some sort of interpretive​ center. In my free time I enjoy hiking, knitting/cro​cheting, reading, surfing the web, and starting new projects. I love history and nature. I currently live with three turtles, a kitten (who I love to pieces), and a hamster. I also enjoy listening to music and watching movies (especially bad action movies!).

"If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get one million miles to the gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside."​ -Robert X Cringely

"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level --I mean the wages of decent living."​
--Franklin Delano Roosevelt
