ABOUT ME

Neat, non-smoker, no pets, social drinking. Artsy, love theater and dance, educated and extravorted. I salsa, swing dance, and love learning other partner dance styles. I'm also a big Disney music and Broadway nerd, FYI. I work in higher education, so I am around college kids a lot. They're amazing.

I love people and I love exploring the world. Learning about different cultures and what unites us is one of the greatest gifts there is to being alive. I'm neat, nice, and always up for new. I'll try anything once, I can't wait to meet you and have fun travels together!

PHILOSOPHY

We're all connected and we exist to support and learn from each other. We have more in common than differences, though they make the world we live in rich. We each are given unique talents and we have a duty to use those to improve our world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent my 19th birthday on an African safari and saw the big five (leopard, rhino, lion, elephant, cape buffalo). I also saw two cheetahs hunt and kill a gazelle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to dance! I can also teach you to cook and show you around Chicago. I love learning and having philosophical discussions. I do make jokes and yes, they are cheesy.
