CURRENT MISSION

Travel whimsically, connect with abandon, eat and eat and eat.

ABOUT ME

The last time I updated this section, I had wanted to move to the West Coast.

And now I have! I work in regional government for the Bay Area, supporting cities and counties to achieve their climate change preparedness goals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff-dived in Jamaica being a) terrified of heights, b) terrified of deep waters, and not dying despite the almighty belly-flop I did.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to make tea blends. I would be happy to share how I make and design custom blends and how to do this with things in your backyard or from Berkeley Bowl to make yourself special cups of tea to fit just the right mood for you.

Cooking together or for you. I would love to draw on the Southeast Asian flavors I grew up with to make something fun and different.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been told I'm a good sounding board for sharing strategic advice about new life, new career, new plans. So if you're cooking something up and want to bounce ideas off someone, I'm your buddy.
