Adele Espy
I am a 29 year old androgynous person (she/her or they/them) with a passion for dogs, writing, painting, crocheting, walking in the woods, felting, baking, cross-country skiing, hiking, juggling, playing bluegrass and Celtic music on the fiddle, and hanging out with family and friends. I live with multiple chronic illnesses and I'm in recovery from a severe eating disorder. I have an owner trained service dog who is the love of my life. I have a small hat making business and I train dogs as well. I'm currently in nursing school, but taking a break to focus on my health. In my past I was a professional athlete.
