I have a passion for the environment and love camping, hiking, biking, anything where I am outside and fully immersed in nature. I have a curious nature and am a big science nerd - during grad school I studied birds so I'm also a bird nerd. l love board games, good books, and live music. I like meeting new people, and am always eager to learn something new!

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been on a folk and blues kick recently, and would really like to learn how to play the harmonica. I also enjoy instrumental music, big band, swing, and jazz.

I like books that explore the many outlooks and perspectives we have as humans.
