I have left behind my retail management world in search of something greater to do with my life. I am seeking meaning and change in the world. I have worked hard to be an independent person, but I have done so at the expense of my dreams. Now I am starting fresh, and letting myself ask for help. I am moving from Sacramento to L.A. to be close to my children and to pursue my dreams. I am an avid conversationalist, a dreamer, a music producer, a parent, a writer, a former barista (a skill I could always fall back on) and someone who is just trying to find the right path after a pretty crushing year. I am clean and respectful and fun to talk to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am willing to help out around the house. I used to do landscaping and maintenance during the recession to keep things moving so I can even help with that. I am a good conversationalist and I can discuss most topics at length with people. I am good with discussing and dealing with mental illness, supporting people with anxiety and depression (I have my own struggles). I am an experienced sexual health and awareness educator and advocate, and love sharing my thoughts and ideas on the topic. I am tall and strong and good at reaching high up things and picking up heavy things. I sing (I turned down a spot in the vocal program to study film in college). I do fire cupping and some NLP. I am sharp, fun, and very good at many things. Just ask!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Italy, Switzerland
