about me As a young girl growing up in Minnesota, I dreamed of traveling to far-off places. Now my passion for new places, new experiences, and new challenges has taken me around the world. I've gone to Vespers at Notre Dame Cathedral; stood alone on the summit of an extinct volcano; chugged a Guinness in Galway, Ireland while celebrating St. Patrick's Day; paddled a Canadian river by moonlight; gone skydiving on the south island of New Zealand; climbed in the Colorado Rockies; swum in Lake Superior; had emergency surgery in West Java; and rappelled through a California waterfall. I try to live by something that YMCA Camp Menogyn director Paul Danicic said in an interview: "Life is a collection of stories - have some good ones." |
