I'm someone that is approachable, compassionate, and always going to cope with humor. I prefer a "come as you are" approach to my friendships and life. I try my best to focus on quality and connection, embracing the messier and less aesthetic parts of everyday life because they are what make us real. I have my MSW and am currently getting my PhD in Social Welfare, so I spend much of my time conducting research and teaching. I also like birdwatching, comfort tv, reading mystery/romance/fantasy, cozy switch games, long walks, pilates, cryptids/paranormal stuff, true crime & just learning!
