- to live your passion is a great gift -

I am incredibly lucky to wake every morning a be able to do things which I am passionate about.

I was born in Panama, a beautiful country which is an isthmus in Central America. Growing up I spent a lot of time outdoors. I was exposed to fishing, exploring, traveling and enjoying life outdoors. I divided my time between Panama and the southeast USA. My family and friends were very social and motivated and we often spent time outdoors in open waters, boating and island hopping as a group. 

My love for the seas is ingrained as my grandfather was an avid angler and my uncle was a professional tuna fisherman. As a little girl I marveled as I watched the adults dive into the ocean and bring up treasures and fish which we readily consumed that same night! I think that is what sparked my interest in the ocean and its creatures and healthy consumption and conservation. All of these elements are important to me.

I thoroughly enjoy life on and off the water and believe in the benefits of a healthy life. Nothing makes me happier than spending a day in or around the water. Whether I am fishing, diving, or just enjoying the beautiful surroundings that nature has to offer.

 I pride myself in knowing I can provide sustenance for myself and others. I will happily spend an entire day fishing, hunting or foraging and then prepare and cook my meals.
