Native to El Paso, Texas, my love for the outdoors began at a very early age, traveling to national parks to a neighboring New Mexico. Since leaving my hometown over 10 years ago, I now have a family of my own and enjoy going on our own little adventures. And because family adventures take a lot of energy, I know how important it is to take time completely for myself. Many times, nature plays a huge part on my own self-care. My appreciation for nature continues to develop throughout my adulthood, taking on greater challenges like summiting 14ers in Colorado!
