An avid Northeast hiker and backpacker, I live, breathe, and sleep (and write about) mountains, the forest, and camping in remote places! When I’m not outdoors, I am either teaching middle school students, or curling up with my two dogs while enjoying a movie with my husby. Aspiring thru-hiker and NPT (Northville Placid Trail in ADKs) finisher August 2023.
