I’m an Air Force spouse and Mom to two teenagers! I’m a native of Southern California and absolutely thrive on sunshine and vitamin D. 8My kids say I am solar powered. Outside is where I am most myself! I am obsessed with any and all sea creatures but turtles are my obsession. I love to spend as much time as possible climbing mountains and hunting down waterfalls. When I’m not outdoors you’ll find me reading or watching my beloved Los Angeles Dodgers playing baseball.

Aloha! I’m Jen and am originally from Maryland, but relocated to Hawaii with my husband about a year ago. My husband is in the Navy and was stationed in the DC area for about 12 years, so this is my first real move. I’ve traveled a lot for my job as an environmental engineer and even had the opportunity to work at National Park Service sites across the country. Since moving to Hawaii I’ve been looking to get out and see more of the island and Military Wild has provided a great way to do just that while meeting some awesome folks. I have two large dogs, so I love finding adventures to take them on too! We have also taken up sea kayaking, and my husband is trying to turn me into a golfer in his spare time. When we aren’t outside, we enjoy watching football, specifically the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Baltimore Ravens, or just lounging on the couch watching a movie.

I am a Navy wife currently living on the beautiful island of O'ahu. I grew up exploring nature and love sharing it with others!

I love being outside exploring my surroundings. There is just something about fresh air, tall trees, flowing waters, and towering mountains that melt all your troubles and worries away.
