Venturing the Last Frontier
WHO AM I
ahhh yes. This is a very loaded question, you know. Bob Goff says that this is one of the three most important questions to figure out your purpose and calling in life along with "where are you" and "what do you want". And, let's be honest, I would trust Bob Goff with my life, so this must be true - and as a side note, he also has a home in the middle of who knows where British Columbia, so he should definitely know a little about remote living. .....maybe I should call him?
Okay but really, hello! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to look at this journey I'm on. ​
I guess I'll start from the beginning and highlight the important things about me: like how I think Johnny Cash was the absolute MAN, how Rocky is genuinely the best move OF ALL TIME and how Christmas music is definitely not overrated and is acceptable to be played starting the week of Thanksgiving.
I was born in MD and grew up in the outskirts of DC. I have an older sister who I love dearly and two younger brothers who can make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts.
I got an English Labrador puppy when I was 16 for my birthday. Her name is Ivy and she holds my heart. We've never been without each other and she's always down to tag along on my trips!
I went to college, got my BSN then moved to the Roanoke Valley and worked in an ER there.
I crave adventure. I love to meet new people and learn of their stories. The Lord made a great and vast earth and I want to see all of it, learn of the cultures, eat the food and be a light to its people.
There are so many things I have yet to learn and I can't wait to see what I will come to know about myself and the community in this new place in rural Alaska!
I wanted to start this page so that I could document my time here and share the tips and tricks I learn along with the many mistakes I'm sure I will make. I am nervous and excited and scared and hopeful.
Please, if you have any suggestions, reach out to me via my contact page!
If you have any questions or if you just want to share in the joy of Bob
Goff, Johnny Cash, or Rocky, I'm here for it!
Oh boy, it's going to be a wild ride. Stay tuned!!!
