What are you excited about right now?
I’m pretty much in constant excitement about my business. It gives me drive and motivation every day. And I’ve really gotten into strength training so I can usually get all excited about that too.
After reading the email we sent describing this project, how does the phrase “I AM ALASKA” resonate/mean to you?
I think Alaskans embody an ethos unlike anywhere else. There’s a drive and energy that is compelling. I also think there’s a lot of room here for creativity. With a small population and lots of natural spaces, creativity can blossom as spontaneously.

Why Alaska?
One of my favorite parts of Alaska is the constant seasonal change and the deep swings from darkness to light. It reminds me that the only thing constant in life is change. The seasons keep things dynamic and exciting. The mania of summer and the hibernation of winter complement each other perfectly.
What keeps you in Alaska?
After living outside for some time I realized what a precious place Alaska is. The outdoor lifestyle, no or little traffic, the ability to find free camping, and almost endless oceans, and mountains. I could spend multiple lifetimes here.
Family also plays a big part of my reason for staying. My children get to grow up with three grandparents, aunties and cousins nearby. So thankful!

How did you discover SWOOP?
Lynn, Founder of SWOOP, and I were vendors together at the Fire Island Farmers Market. Lynn and her products are magnetic!
What do you do to be your best self/what is your self care routine?
Daily thought management. It’s free. And it can transform any experience or situation into an opportunity to learn and grow.
Favorite morning ritual?
Coffee and blogging for 30 minutes. I set my timer, start writing and blogs just write themselves every 3 days! It’s amazing.
