I am a copywriter by day, Vashon Island resident and a later-in-life swimmer who has worked through health challenges to surprise even myself. I swim year round in chilly, tidal Puget Sound with a fierce group of ladies. I consider myself a -meh- middle distance open water swimmer who is raising my personal bar each year. Social swimming and bold new routes bring me joy. I'm the group archivist & kid around a lot.

In 2021 I completed my first official, observed marathon swim in my hometown: Around Coronado. Unlike my OW swim buddies, I didn't really get the marathon bug afterward. It still felt great to finish an almost 12-mile rough water route in 64-degree sea, all skin!
