My Story
Originally from the Fox Valley, in 2017 I moved to the U.P of Michigan, thinking it would just be a quick pit stop. But it didn’t take long before I realized this place was meant to be home. After meeting my husband Chris, I earned my marketing degree from Northeast Wisconsin Techincal College. While I was finishing school, everything shifted when covid hit. That’s when I met Nate Alwine, who brought me into the wild world of True North Outpost. I started as a river photographer, then grew into their marketing lead, building my skills in digital marketing and community storytelling.
This website is a scrapbook story of all the fun little pieces of life. My story is about saying yes to opportunity, listening to the community, and finding joy in all the little details along the way.
