What gets her out of bed in the morning: Turning people into activists, good PNW coffee, and weekend hikes with her family. Occasionally, jet noise.

What gets her out of bed in the morning: Inspiring others to get involved in their community, her espresso machine, and exploring new places. But usually, her energetic dog, Ryder.

What gets her out of bed in the morning: Working toward important progressive changes, boba tea, pasta, and realizing she forgot to water her houseplants.
