“Mer” is my nickname, and it also means “sea.” I’ve always loved the ocean and everything about it. In 2020 I fulfilled a lifelong dream and moved to LA, right by the ocean, where I can surf and enjoy the beach. The ocean, sustainability, and running are my passions. I created Mer-made LA to share ways I’ve found to live a more eco-conscious, outdoor lifestyle, with plenty of ocean adventures. I’m still pursuing my other lifelong dream of being a mermaid.
