ABOUT ME

I grew up abroad, as a third culture kid! I graduated from Vassar College, a liberal arts school in Poughkeepsie NY. I now live in Brooklyn NY and work as an AmeriCorps VISTA (like the PeaceCorps but in the US!) as a Research/Development Associate at a large community health clinic. I love to eat, cook, read books, shop (eeek!), go to museums, chat in coffee shops.. eat octopus!

Interests

weird Asian pizza crusts, Kenny Shopsin, universal healthcare, karaoke, long haul flights, long distance calls, attempting to be a social cross-cultural solution, trailers for bad movies
