The core of the collective Cleveland experience is grit. That rustbelt resilience is something hardened deep in your bones. It’s steeped in generations of hard work and determination, defeat and finding your footing again. Though my heart is home in many places, my spirit is Clevelander through and through.

I’ve always been brave, and have done things my own way. I’m guided by my values, and trust my gut. I prioritize curiosity + connection + growth. If you’ll teach me, I want to learn.

Growing up in a place that’s grey and gloomy most of the time, I’ve had to cultivate a sense of inner joy and actively seek out moments of magic. It’s shaped who I am, and how I see the world. I love sharing that joy with others.

I spend a good deal of time hiking at CVNP or in fields collecting four-leaf-clovers, I’m perpetually cooking and baking, I love exploring new places, have a passion for language and culture, and I do lots of yoga to stay a Limber Kimber ™.

I’m a big fan of talking to strangers, so please say hi!
