I came to Ft. Bragg from Oakland, but I’m originally from the East Coast. There, the hustle and pace of life left me feeling like I was missing something. I value “making things happen,” though I felt like I needed more space in my life to experiment and take risks. I fell in love with the focus at the Krenov School on craftwork as a model for this kind of approach to personal and professional development. A space to dream big while learning from small mistakes. So happy to be here as part of my journey, surrounded by amazing staff, friends, and redwood trees!
