Bio
I live in Seattle, Washington and while I live downtown now, I used to own and run an alpaca farm. I am originally from Iowa, but moved here for my job (Microsoft). I currently run marketing for Bing which has been an exciting ride. My favorite part of my job is really understanding what people want and how to deliver that in our product and brand promise. I am an avid traveller..my upcoming adventure is trekking in Nepal in April. It's really important to me to get as much out of life as I can. I am constantly inspired by the genius of others and it makes me happy to be around it. My two cats, Trouble and Oliver, keep me grounded. My friends and family are the most important thing in the world to me. I am the girl who is interested in everything but have a hard dedicating to any one thing. Origami, trapeze, capoeira, yoga, painting, backpacking, festivals and music keep me interested in all life has to offer :)
I'm passionate about
Keeping an open mind to all possibilities that life has to offer. The environment. Building a better mousetrap. Love.
An idea worth spreading
If we all made a point to talk to someone we wouldn't normally talk to, our lives would be a radically different place.
