Born in the 80s
Where I went to school: Seattle area
I moved to Aiken from Seattle in 2008 to work in the thriving equestrian industry here. The small-town friendliness, history, and beauty of the area worked its magic on me--I married a local and now we enjoy welcoming others to Aiken, too! I own and run two small local businesses, Aiken Vacation Rentals and Equestrian Ethos. My husband Jeremy is a social worker. We have a dog Atticus and cats Neville and Minerva. Yes we are also nerds.
