May your professional safari be one with similar curiosity and compassion you displayed in Tanzania 🇹🇿 and may you have an easier time making clinical judgement than we did with late-night rock paper scissors triaging 😂 in reality, it’s all about coming together and using our resources. You now have the tools to go out into the world and make huge impact, however you choose!

Thank you for crossing paths with me. I’m always here to learn alongside you — in the US and abroad. So happy for you all.

Now you’re…

There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free🎶

If you’re ever having a bad day, just remember you’ve been the reason many people have smiled 😊 and… there’s always high school musical to help cheer you up lol 🎤🎹

// Country line dancing has brought me so much joy // Country line dancing has brought me so much joy through the years. When I first found a use for my cowboy boots at Round Up in Davie, FL, I was *HOOKED.* In 2014, I walked into a country line dancing lesson with no idea what I was getting myself into 😅, but ended up at @roundupdavie 3-4x/week learning as many dances as I could. I never knew I’d still be dancing this many years later all over the country!! I’ve legit met some of my best friends through country dancing in Florida, New York, and Washington.

I’m stoked for being part of another country community in Boston! No matter where I go, I feel at home on the dance floor. I have given up line dancing a few times — admittedly while in relationships with men who wouldn’t participate with me for their own reasons. Being able to fully express who I am is so important to me and I’ve realized how integral dance is to my life. I ain’t giving it up again — you can hold me to that 🤠

This weekend, I can’t wait for the Boston “D” Party where we’ll be dumpin’ “D”ANCE moves (instead of tea lolz) all over Beantown!! There will be flash mobs, social dancing, swing dancing, AND a line dance competition! I just can’t freakin wait to dance alongside people from New England and all over the country.

Come dance with us!!! Swipe for the details and sign up via the link in my profile 🤠💃🏻💕

Wahoo! Can’t wait for my next JetBlue flight to have an Athletic Brewing Company “Upside Dawn” golden brew. Awesome to see this company getting more traction and to see the FIRST non-alcoholic beer on a major US airline. CHEERS!!!! 🍻

I started drinking Athletic Brewing beers after a back injury in 2021. I cut out alcohol to aide my healing process and decrease inflammation, as I was experiencing a lot of pain & numbness in my right leg. I then continued while taking anti-depressant medication & moving through depression. Alcohol was a trigger for my mental health challenges and it was best to drop the booze for a period of time.

Now, I am free to enjoy alcohol again (woo, healing!), but I often grab an Athletic Brewing Beer instead because being & feeling healthy is non-negotiable for me. I love the taste of a beer, but don’t need the side effects that come with it. I’m also honed in on my physical health as I train for my first triathlon & MORE. So, @athleticbrewing and I have become BFFs and I’m loving it. Stoked I’ll be able to enjoy their brew while traveling too!! Instead of slugging back alcohol on your next flight (& further adding to dehydration that comes with traveling), opt for an Upside Dawn Golden brew. Promise you won’t be disappointed 🌞

// waves of the sea
bring me back to me 🌊💦💙

I’ve always loved the ocean. Traveling from Massachusetts to New York via ferry is a peaceful reprieve from the traffic that usually comes on 84 & through NYC. I love the route from New London to Orient Point, usually in the day time to breathe the salty air on the deck & enjoy the journey.

Grateful for a moment with the waves before the sun set last night 💙
// Putting a lid on this week 🤣 went to my firs // Putting a lid on this week 🤣 went to my first hill workout with @novemberprojectbos this morning and scored a free @brooksrunning hat!!! It’s a little big for my tiny head (with a big brain of course haha) bc I literally buy CHILD SIZED HATS but I’m stoked nonetheless.

There are so many ways to explore movement and I’m so grateful to have many communities and means of moving my body!

Cheers to the weekend 🌞🥳🎉
