about angel

The people closest to me would describe me as sharp, confident yet disarming, kind, inquisitive, detailed, creative, and resourceful. I love impassioned conversations that leave me feeling activated, informed, or inspired. Humor is my drug of choice and I endeavor to invite as much laughter and silliness into my daily life as possible. I love to romanticize and revel in the simple joys and inspirations all around me, like the spring sunshine on my skin, fireflies dancing alongside the riverway, morning cuddles with my dog, the taste of baklava dripping in warm sweet honey, or the rush of locking eyes with a cute stranger in the Trader Joes produce section.

My leisure time is mostly spent nurturing my assortment of hobbies and interests, namely dancing, singing (jazz alto), fashion illustration, design, weightlifting, pilates and gardening. A considerable portion of my time is devoted to exploring an array of cultural experiences and live entertainment, including frequent visits to museums, attendance at diverse music venues, and enjoying comedy and burlesque shows, either accompanied by friends or independently. When I need to unwind, I enjoy immersing myself in music and podcasts, watching television programs, or losing myself in a good book. I also find solace and rejuvenation in basking in the sunlight along the riverbanks and embracing the tranquility of nature through the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku (forest baths).
