About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Crossing things off my Bucket List. Currently fulfilled myself with tap dancing & learning the days of the week in four different languages. I'm still learning.

ABOUT ME

My attention span is short. You will always find something amusing in my overflowing tote bag, along with books, newspapers + magazines that I will never finish. I constantly chop my hair off. I wear too many layers, mostly striped ones. I am terrible at haikus. A native New Yorker, I was raised in a borough that is not Brooklyn (but caved in & currently reside in it.)

PHILOSOPHY

The Year of Being Bold(er)
