allow me to introduce myself…

The people closest to me would describe me as confident yet disarming, eclectic, resourceful, inquisitive, emotive, kind, detailed, and creative. I enjoy 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 believe in romanticizing and reveling in the simple joys and inspirations all around me, whether it’s the spring sunshine on my skin, watching fireflies dance alongside the riverbanks, morning cuddles with my dog, the taste of baklava dripping in warm sweet honey, or the rush of locking eyes with a hot stranger in the Trader Joes produce section.

My free time is usually spent nurturing an assortment of interests, namely dancing, singing (contralto), fashion illustration, design, weightlifting, barre/pilates, gardening, and cuddling my sweet senior chihuahua. I also enjoy exploring an array of cultural experiences and live entertainment, like frequent visits to museums, groovin’ to live music, and attending comedy and burlesque shows. When I need to unwind, I enjoy immersing myself in music and podcasts, watching improv comedy, 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 at parks and botanical gardens.
