A bit about me: I am a full-time Registered nurse lucky enough to travel around the country and take time off to work out at Camp again! I am coming to Camp from Los Angeles but have also lived/worked in Seattle, Everett, Virginia and DC. I take care of cancer patients in my everyday life, so Camp is a wonderful break from that. I am especially excited about doing some hiking, swimming, Water Olympics, Staff Hunts, laughing my head off every single day - there isn’t enough of that!

playing my viola or guitar.
