About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet and network with as many people as possible!

ABOUT ME

Very socially liberal female who has just completed a PhD in Architecture at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. My dissertation was about how architects engage with their clients. I am currently on the hunt for the next career path for myself, whether it be working at an architecture firm, as a consultant, teaching, or otherwise. Just started teaching at Lawrence Tech and am working as an office manager at my co-working space. All of my side jobs have always involved children, most recently being a birth doula. I love to play board games, run and bike in my free time. I don't own a car but I live right in downtown San Francisco so I bike everywhere I go. I also enjoy spending time with my fiance when he's not busy working at Apple.

PHILOSOPHY

As liberal and accepting as possible

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent several years traveling around Asia including 3 years in China and 1 in India along with shorter trips all around the area. I also recently went skydiving which was amazingly peaceful for me (that surprises many people and it even surprised me that I found it peaceful!).

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach English and love teaching in general so anything I know I'd love to teach you!
