ABOUT ME
Hi!
I'm a friendly, thoughtful, and creative type. Curious, wandering, environmentally conscious, social justice oriented, politically engaged, always interested in learning about new things, people and places.
Interests
I love art, hiking, stunning scenery, good conversation (especially over chai or coffee), contrasts, magical realism, trying to understand why things are the way they are, doing the slightly ridiculous, and running around barefoot in sunshine flecked fresh grass.
My dream job is to work for National Geographic. Or as a neuroscientist. Or as a full time artist. When I was a kid, I started a list of 'things that I want to do when I grow up'. The list has 47 items on it. I'm interested in almost everything.
- arts
- coffee
- running
- meditation
