CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I am a goofy, optimistic lady who is always down for an adventure. Originally from the east coast (40 minutes outside of New York City) I moved to San Francisco in 2008 to experience something different and live where the palm trees grow :) Currently, I am working as a speech language pathologist at a pediatric clinic in the Bay Area. I love traveling, being spontaneous, meeting people, and trying new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Have no regrets, make the most out of every day, life is too short to hold grudges
