CURRENT MISSION

Basically I just want to wake up happy everyday. So far I'm doing a good job of it.

ABOUT ME

I recently transplanted from the desert out to the wonderful San Francisco Bay Area! I've been loving getting to know the city and all it has to offer. I'm in the process of starting my career, and I'm working hard at both a development non-profit, and as an energy analyst. I'm still in the process of getting settled and not sleeping on other people's couches myself, but once I get an apartment, my living room will be open to guests!

PHILOSOPHY

I have a very strong philosophy and particular way I live my life, but I find nothing more obnoxious than someone who force-feeds another their opinions. Discussions are amazing, monologues are not.

Music, Movies, and Books

I always prefer books over television. I just finished Infinite Jest, which was the biggest literary undertaking I have ever done. It is difficult for me to list favorites though. I read a lot, both fiction and non-fiction. Movies are fun. Star Wars of course, and Beauty and the Beast.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a kindergarten teacher in China!!! The best thing I have done with my life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a volcano of factoids ready to erupt at any moment. Seriously. I can tell you more things that you never knew you wanted to know than you knew you wanted to know! Get it?

Countries I’ve Visited

Jordan, Mexico, New Zealand

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, United States
