CURRENT MISSION

To seek out brave new people and to boldly go where I have not gone before.

ABOUT ME

Me? I'm a little shy sometimes, so this is hard... OK. I'm a transplant to the Boston area from lovely Western Massachusetts for grad school. I miss my old home where have great community of friends, but am learning much here. I get some biking and Aikido in now and then. Life is pretty quiet, but starting to make connections here. I like to cook for people. Come visit and I will prepare fine meals!

PHILOSOPHY

Leftie, semi-crunchy, veggie, non-materialist. Kindness is always worthwhile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunsets from my window at work. Often quite amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach anyone to fix a bike. I can share my thoughts about anything. I also love to listen to people's stories of any sort. I've learned things about neuroscience lately. Some people find it endlessly fascinating to talk and philosophize about. I like learning about people and what they have experienced.
