After the birth of my daughter, I committed to annually taking her somewhere we’ve never been and that fuels my obsession with exploring.

I dream of visiting all of the National parks in Alaska, Hawaii and American Samoa as those have been mostly elusive for me. I have visited 50 of the top 63 and over 180 of the lands managed by the National Park System. I hope to visit all 429 in my lifetime.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?In 2016 I sold everything I owned, bought a pop-up camper, packed up myself and my 8 year old daughter and we hit the road for 13 months camping US National Parks and properties as well as many in Canada. It was the greatest year of my life and I’d LOVE to get back on the road to finish what we started. I also have loved all of my solo backpacking experiences and commit to at least one solo adventure each year. I’d also say the self supported 500 mile river trip on the Yukon was EPIC!!!
What would you do with $10,000?I would use it to fund my dream of visiting all 63 Major National Parks and as many other National Park properties as I can. I would love to inspire and educate others on how to see the INCREDIBLE landscapes protected by our National Park System. There are so many AMAZING places to see and experience. I hope you’ll join me on this incredible adventure! I work as a Mental Health Therapist and nature is the most healing tool on the planet for me. I love inspiring others to heal outside as well.
