   MEMORANDUM

Jillian Jolene Ingram appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Ingram contends that the district court abused its discretion by revoking her supervised release based on the finding that she indirectly contacted- N.G., the victim of the underlying offense. Specifically, she contends that there was no evidence that she intended to contact N.G. when she left messages for N.G.’s employer and posted a comment in response to a presentation N.G. posted online. Ingram’s conduct supports an inference that the indirect contact was intentional, rather than inadvertent or unknowing. See United States v. Bucher, 375 F.3d 929, 934 (9th Cir.2004) (intent can be inferred from defendant’s conduct and surrounding circumstances). Viewed in the light most favorable to the government, the evidence was sufficient to support the district court’s finding that Ingram violated the terms of her supervised release. See United States v. King, 608 F.3d 1122, 1129 (9th Cir.2010). Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion by revoking Ingram’s supervised release based on her indirect contact with N.G. See United States v. Perez, 526 F.3d 543, 547 (9th Cir.2008).

AFFIRMED.
