CURRENT MISSION

Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it. -Anais Nin

ABOUT ME

I hate Donald Trump. It feels like every day I wake up and read the news about his actions and feel depressed.

I'm friendly and goofy and love to take care of people. I enjoy drinking and going out as well as relaxing and talking. I love to see new places and meet the people who live in them. I will go to any event or place that you think is worth it.

As far as my familiarity with other US cities go, I went to University of Pittsburgh and have spent time in Philadelphia / Baltimore / Washington D.C. and many others.

I have also spent a good bit of time in France - first studying in Nantes, then as a teaching assistant near Lille for a school year.

I play in kickball, volleyball and dodgeball leagues. I can cook. I really like poetry. I wish i could garden. I like anything funny. Sometimes I dance - preferably to good 80s/new wave music.

PHILOSOPHY

I know its a cliche, but its true: live life to the fullest - take risks - have fun - enjoy. I also think knowledge and education is important and should be continual.

And laugh a lot.
