It seems everyone finds it difficult to describe themselves. After all, we don’t create experiences alone, we create them through connection with each other. But I can tell you some of what I have been told by friends: that I am a great listener and conversationalist, exceedingly warm, and also very easy to get along with. I believe these things to be true.

My previous work experience lies in elementary education and mental health advocacy, as I fundamentally believe in the importance of both of these fields. I am very low tech in a sea of technology. I also speak another language, and I have traveled extensively, but I don’t think these are the most interesting things about me. I like to read the science times, and I nerd out on ted radio hour and this american life (basic, I know). I laugh easily, give too much eye contact almost all of the time, and am pretty much the most affectionate person I know.

If you are interested in knowing a little more about me, here is something I wrote to give you a little glimpse into who I am:

My idea of utopia is a perfectly hot bath, smelling of lavender and roses. A book that takes you to another world. A perfect cup of coffee. A vacation that makes you think differently about the world around you, and fills you with a new hope for humankind. Kindness. Connection, if only for a moment. Walking through trees in golden gate park at dusk, the shadows falling in a way which reminds me of something comforting and foreign at the same time. A perfect sunset at dusk across a beautiful ocean.

I hope we have the opportunity to create something together.

Xoxo,
