Hi! My name is Beth Lewis (she/her). Here's a little bit about me.

I am a lover of the outdoors, astrology, rock climbing, and the culture of Appalachia. A transplant to Pittsburgh, I grew up in a small town in western North Carolina. You will find me hiking, practicing yoga, or climbing with my girlfriend, annoying our cats, listening to Brandi Carlisle, or searching the city for southern home cooking cuisine.
