allow me to introduce myself…

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 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.
