I’m also an adventure junkie! I’m 1/2 bold and 1/2 terrified at the same time. Love that feeling of cultivating grit while venturing into the unknown.

In October 2018, I competed in the Rebelle Rally. A 1,600 mile, 9-day orienteering and driving competition. I drove and navigated at Jeep Rubicon from Lake Tahoe down to the edge of Mexicali. Highlights include scaling  boulders with a Jeep Rubicon, sliding in and out of sand dunes, through Death Valley, across Coachella, and camping under the stars at China Ranch.
