CURRENT MISSION

I just want to live, REALLY LIVE. I am a full time, school-based Speech Language Pathologist and am ready to make new friends, taste new food, and broaden my interests and knowledge of the amazing and beautiful world that we live in.

ABOUT ME

I am 29 years old and I love to read, train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, go bouldering, practice yoga, cook, watch films with friends, and take afternoon naps. I am learning to play ukulele and enjoy dabbling in other instruments and vocal performance. I also like crafty things, such as making furniture/woodworking, knitting, and crocheting. Basically, I am a Jill of many trades.

PHILOSOPHY

I live with compassion, love, and kindness. Vulnerable at times from being an empath, but better for it, I think.
