20 years ago, I overdosed on cocaine and left PALY to complete high school at Foothill Community College. It was a rough chunk of years. I heard that rumors about my dying had circulated at PALY and decided to let that be. I am proud to share that I am currently 16 years sober and living a very different life in Oregon. I own my home with my husband of 5 years, and we are in the process of starting our family through IVF. I manage an organic permaculture garden, and am practicing assorted food preservation methods. I also make jewelry from pressed flowers, and tea blends from the garden.
