About Me

I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and moved to New England when I was 16. I spent most of the next ten years between Boston, Cape Cod and Amherst, Massachusetts before becoming a bit of a wanderer, including extended layovers in Austin and Chicago. I recently escaped Washington DC after several years—just in time to avoid becoming a lifer! Phew! And I'm currently trying on a tropical island lifestyle on the white sand gulf coast beaches of Fort Myers. Three years in and this Irish girl still hasn’t gotten a tan. Maybe one day … just like someone in my high school year book hoped for me.

I have a passion for nature, adventure and innovation. Although my chronic illness limits me, I always find ways to satisfy these intrepid longings, even if it's just road-tripping on the passenger side, learning new skills or discovering what is happening on the fringes.

I have an intense obsession with probably too many things: interior design, growing a food forest, the reality TV show that is politics, health and wellness everything, plant based cooking, photography, reading, environmentalism, learning piano and ukulele, attempting to relearn my native tongue (Irish), and generally just being way too curious and excited about everything.

I was once called pathologically positive. I’m not currently receiving treatment for it. I’m not sure there’s a cure … maybe the apocalypse … but, actually, I’m pretty excited about that too. I’m hoping for zombies.
