I used to be a software engineer (so I am interested in tech) but these days I spend my time parenting my preteen and teen, crafting, and volunteering.Crafts I enjoy include knitting, sewing, jewelry making, laser cutting, and 3d printing. I also like reading (fantasy, sci fi, romance, and nonfiction), photography, puzzles, and dabbling in new arts and crafts.I volunteer as a Girl Scout troop leader and in my kids' schools, and stay up to date on local political thing and research on neurodiversity topics.I love cute animals, snacks, purple, and anything sparkly!
