I am a native Vermonter. I developed a love for the sky and weather around age 6. I have a cat named Bear and she enjoys watching me garden in the summer and catching moths. I'm a mixed media artist, enjoy cooking and currently, I'm experimenting with writing. I love attending astro meetings with VSA, it is one of my favorite things. I'm an aspiring pump organist and hope to improve my real and armchair astronomy skills, and if I become brave enough, perhaps try photography.
