What does TAPG mean to you?
It started out as a professional community and over the years has become a place where I have met many chosen family members. I have professionally grown up within this community surrounded by consistence love and support. This group provides a safe space for authenticity and growth while challenging and acknowledging the squiggly's when they arise. 
What does adventure mean for you in your own life?
Adventure is in everything, life is an adventure. Anything from traveling  hiking/climbing/camping/backpacking/paddle-boarding/crossfiting to building/remodeling with my partner, dog walks, co-parenting a teenager, and afternoon city explorations :)
