I think of myself as a creatively versatile eco-powerhouse. Freelance writer, life-long model, on-camera personality, official U.S. spokesperson for Twice Shy Clothing, and founder of the San Francisco Craft Mafia - I’m a classic Renaissance woman and mistress-of-all-tra- des.- Though my days of growing up in the corn fields of central Indiana are behind me, forgetting where I came from is not an option. I lost my father unexpectedly in March of 2006, months before moving from NYC to San Francisco, which helped to amplify my zest for life and thirst to help change the world.

Perpetually looking for fresh ways to share my unquenchable green knowledge, I blog about everything eco on my own website, as well as for Green Options, Green Loop, and select others. Most recently, I have been hired by Building Green TV as a writer and web editor for their site. Also, my diverse articles have been published in variety of reputable magazines, such as: Yoga Journal, Venus, CRAFT, Yogi Times, Recovery Solutions, M+F, and Office Solutions. In my spare time, you can find me knitting, reading, singing, taking pictures, practicing yoga, taking long walks, and working on my first non-fiction book. Other random facts about me: I’m a Buddhist, vegetarian, latex fan, and have four tattoos.
