about

hey, i’m Kelsey

Hi! My name is Kelsey and I am a 27 year old living in Portland, Oregon with my boyfriend, Tyler and our cats, Theo and Ellie. I grew up in Lynden, Washington and went to the University of Washington, go dawgs! I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health, and in 2021 with a Master of Public Health Epidemiology. I have been working full time as an epidemiologist ever since.

In January 2022 I moved from Seattle to Portland. I have been loving Portland so far, and I look forward to exploring more over the next few years! I love the PNW and can see myself staying in the area long term.

I started my blog in 2022 as a creative outlet outside of work. I share various aspects of my daily life, such as style, fitness, travel, and more, with the goal of helping you feel your most confident. I am excited to see where this new endeavor takes me, and I hope you will stick around!

xx Kelsey

Frequently asked questions

I was looking for a creative hobby outside of my 9-5 job. I have been following bloggers on social media for a really long time, and always wanted to give it a shot myself. After graduating, I finally had the time to devote to a new hobby, which is where this blog comes in!

I have had a lot of fun! I loved creating my website, and I still update it in my spare time. I have also loved connecting with people with similar interests through social media. Proud of myself for taking this step even though it can be intimidating at first.

I try to post everything on my liketoknow.it profile. If you are ever unable to find something, feel free to reach out!

I am (almost) 5’2″ and I normally wear an XS-S. All of my sizing info is included in the captions on my liketoknow.it posts!

I take all of my photos on an iPhone and use the Setty app to edit. I like that the filters are minimal and don’t change the photo too much. Lighting is the most important when taking a good photo. My favorite filter in the Setty app is “Golden.”
