I'm warm, straightforward, and usually the one who breaks the ice — driven by a curiosity that never quits. I'm optimistic, a bit organized, and use irony to keep life light. I work in sustainability, which suits my curious, connect-the-dots nature. My favorite part of the day is time with my little dog, cat, and family. I have countless interests: skincare rituals, fantasy novels, board games, gaming, gardening, swimming, cooking, and learning about all kinds of subjects. I love animals deeply, and I enjoy both close relationships and meeting new people — every one brings a new perspective."
