Beyond pursuing her aspirations to become an author, Bartell loves enjoying the simplistic beauty of nature by hiking through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. At some point, if she can muster the courage, she’d like to attempt a fourteener. She’s mildly athletic, having played volleyball for six years but, is nervous to attempt such a feat. Although, if there’ll be dogs there, she’ll be there.

If for some reason she decides not to go adventure she’s most likely working. Which doesn’t sound exciting in the slightest but, Bartell, in the near future, will be doing a podcast as well as YouTube videos. For YouTube, she’d like to do some spiritual guidance/ healing/ ranting/ advice for her followers. For a short time she was producing videos through Instagram but she soon realized the attention she was catching. She knew that she needed a more flexible platform. 

Fun Fact: The cover of Bartell’s book was taken by her in 2017. In this year, after ‘meticulous’ calculations, based upon her iPhone photo album, she spent a third of her year gawking at and photographing sunsets; unaware that one of them would become the cover of her book someday.
