CURRENT MISSION Celebrate Life! ABOUT ME I am an independent, caring individual with a habit for baking and seeker of fun. Top 5 things I love (in no particular order): 1) rock climbing- an avid climber, I feel amazingly drawn to the rock 2) dancing- I have to have that rhythm. All kinds of music, swing, blues, salsa, ska, folk.. 3) my journal- I have volumes of journals I have kept since I was 11. 4) languages- I have a base in hebrew, american sign language, spanish, and italian- though not an expert in any of them yet 5) people- I love travelling, and I love connecting with people of all cultures, mostly finding things that transcend those boundaries PHILOSOPHY just be.

My Interests
In Portland, OR I manage an outdoor recreation program at a college. I have led programs for 6 year olds and 80 years olds, and everyone in between. My favorite trips are mountaineering trips for high schoolers. I recently traveled to the Canadian Rockies and was part of a team that summited 7 peaks, 3 of which had never been climbed before. In the winters, I sew, write, climb indoors, dance, and bake. I enjoy cooking for large groups of people and hosting dinner parties.
