I grew up in Omaha, NE, currently live in Pittsburgh, PA, and enjoy traveling to visit friends and family. My favorite things to do in my free time are bike, read, climb, dance, and play ultimate frisbee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Ireland I climbed down a mossy cliff and was sure I was about to die or at least break multiple bones in the process, but once I've put my mind to doing something I have to follow through - there's no going back. I managed somehow to make it down with little more than a few scratches.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love exchanging skills! I'm able to teach some cooking/baking skills, American sign language, or give piano lessons. I want to learn wood working.
