I’m a tiny girl with a tiny dog.  I run to eat and eat to run.

I seek adventures near and far — both athletic and cerebral.  I love to run, bike, swim, hike, scuba dive, ski, read (mostly non-fiction), self-taught knitter and I love to make jewelry. I am also a total foodie, I am self taught from reading cookbooks and watching the Food Network.  I prefer human powered gear over gas or battery powered.  I am a typical poi-dog (mixed) Hawaiian-Portugese-Filipino-Irish-Polish mix, I was born in Hawaii, moved to Oregon and now live in Colorado — so it seems even by location I was meant to love the ocean and mountains equally.

I’m a grassroots and brand marketing professional based in Louisville, Colorado.  If you need someone to help you define your brand and create a marketing strategy & plan (and execute it), I’m your girl. Check out my portfolio for my full résumé.

Koa (“brave warrior” in Hawaiian) is a long-haired chihuahua, rescued by the Colorado Corrections program. (Koa passed away June 2020).

My newest adventure buddy is Havika (“beloved” in Hawaiian). He’s a 27lb chihuahua-cattle dog rescued from the streets of Houston, TX. He’s the running friend I never knew I wanted.
