I split my time between Montana and the beautiful beach town of Troncones, where I love spending time in the ocean and soaking up the laid-back community vibe. I work part-time and donate my time to several nonprofit organizations, helping with marketing, awareness, and fundraising efforts. Giving back to causes I care about has become a big part of my life here.

We don’t currently have any pets of our own, our love Patch passed away three years ago. But were lucky enough to foster Paco — a sweet Surfers for Strays pup — and help him find his forever home. He totally stole our hearts, and it was so rewarding to see him end up with a loving family.

I volunteer on the fundraising committee, where I help manage the back-end platforms and auctions that keep our events running smoothly. It’s amazing to see how much heart this organization pours into rescuing, spaying, and finding homes for animals in need. I’m proud to be a small part of the Surfers for Strays family and love supporting the mission however I can.
