Learning to live off the land as a young child, has been a key ingredient to the women I am today.

Born and raised on ten acres of land in the rainy pacific northwest of Washington State, Andraya connected with the rainforest and the wild animals around her. Whether she was hunting for black tail deer, or sitting among the ferns with her moms camera in hand, Andraya spent the majority of her time in nature. Having been a victim to sexual abuse at a young age, Andraya found peace and strength as she wandered under the tall evergreen fur trees.

In 2012 Andraya packed up her red Honda Civic, with no ac, and headed towards Colorado.
