About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just finished a PhD and I'm looking to re-enter the world of the living and meet some new people. I'm passionate about health technology and patient empowerment.

ABOUT ME

I am a busy creative professional who likes to make her life interesting. Travel is my lifestyle and I enjoy things which are diverse and unusual. After working as a photographer for 10 years I have now begun a lifelong commitment to researching my profession. I smile and laugh alot and I have a strong humanitarian streak. I'm mostly vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to understand my life as an individuated experience of source energy. Basically we are connected and interconnected, the trick is to find the balance between individuation and collectivism. I'm probably best described as a humanist. I'm non-traditional when it comes to relationships.
