CURRENT MISSION

Explore life and learn to shed past resentments as I learn about the world.

"To see the world, things dangerous to come, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life."
-Thurber

"Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told 'I'm with you, kid, let's go!'" -Maya Angelou

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a well rounded and objective person. I take great pleasure in social interactions. The spectrum of my interests is broad and growing every day.
I love my dogs, Maggie, and D'Artagnan, with all my heart. I've been a nanny, and very much love working with kids. My other occupations have included house painting, personal organizer, retail associate, trimmer, taste tester, driver, massage therapist, bartender, garden manager... The list continues. I am an artist. I especially love tattooing, henna, and painting.
I've lived in Santa Cruz most of my life, had the pleasure of seeing much of the united states, and I've lived in Panama off and on. I look forward to seeing more of this good ship, Earth!
