A Year in Review: 25

25 has been an amazing year.  Sometimes when I think back about my years I am astonished at all I have accomplished in this short quarter century life. I did so much at 25 that some people don't accomplish in a lifetime.  It has inspired me and made me hungry for adventure, passion, and joy in my life.  Enjoy this pictorial review of my 25th year.

Turned 25 in Tanzania-- a day of waterfall hopping through small villages around Marangu, TZ.

Living in Moshi, Tanzania.  




Returned home to spend the next 3 months travelling, looking for jobs, and visiting friends all over the country.  I also welcomed this sweet little nugget into the world.  


Soaked up post-grad life and made the most of my time in Chapel Hill.

Graduated from Duke University

Quit my job in the PCICU at Duke when I found my DREAM job at U of L in the Peds ED.

Loved on my wonderful friends and had some cherished memories with the townies.

Moved to Louisville, KY

I couldn't pass up one last epic weekend in Chapel Thrill with the celebration of the 3rd annual Greatest Kickball Tournament Ever!

Building my life in Louisville has meant lots of hard work and persevering.  Luckily I landed some pretty awesome friends.  My climbing friends in particular are wonderful.  This is only the start of the adventures we'll have together.

I rescued the sweetest little puppy dog, Lulu.  Named her after my new town, and proceeded to whip her into shape with obedience as she whipped me into shape dragging me down the street on our runs.  She makes Louisville feel more like home.

Digging in with old friends and new in Kentucky.

 Not knowing what happens in the future is always one of the most exciting, inspirational, and endlessly frustrating aspects of life and I am so very excited about what the future holds for me.  It could be anything and I am open to the opportunity.
