I like to tackle my phobias. I once had a phobia of drowning and didn't know how to swim. As an adult I took swimming lessons and and then became a certified water safety instructor. I enjoy being kind, and helping people but I'm really hard on myself. I love pickleball. I love that it unifies all kinds of people. I love reading and listening to audiobooks, mainly fantasy and inspirational memoirs like "You Can't Hurt Me". I've spent a lot of time in different countries so I have a very strong chameleon reflex that I have to tamp down sometimes but that also allows me to connect with people.
