About me
My family recently moved to the area, after living in northern New Jersey for over 20 years. While we've had lots of adventures in Maine, we're looking forward to experiencing Mount Desert Island and other parts of Maine year round!
In my spare time, I love hiking with family and friends and chilling with my dogs, cats and :) reptiles. I have two children, Nate and Mackenzie, who also (and fortunately) love the outdoors, cooking and traveling!
