Happy, hilarious, curious, active, intelligent, encouraging, open. I love my job(s), am interested in people, movement, music, the world. I study my Master's, ride my bike, dance a lot and am trying to make the world a better place. Passionate about occupational therapy, public sector health services, community based practice, conversations, innovations. Love warmth, the beach, sea water, coffee, watching and meeting people.

Waiting in lines or tourist attractions are not my favorite deal but I do visit some great art museums! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly cheerful and/or energetic music but with a large variety. Recently seen excellent movies include The Untouchables, Kingsman, The Imitation Game. As I study I haven't been reading much during the past year, but Nassim Taleb's Anti-Fragile and novels by Khaled Hosseini and Marianne Fredriksson I for example enjoy. Not a gamer but loved Jane McGonigal at an international speaker conference Tomorrow last week.
