I have moved around quite a bit...born in Portland, OR; grew up in Los Angeles, CA and lived there for about 20 years; moved to Detroit, MI for 2 years; then went to San Luis Obispo, CA for 2 years; and have now been in San Jose, CA for the couple of years!

I am a huge concert nerd, love watching crappy reality tv, but my biggest passion lies with the relationships I hold. My friends mean the world to me and I wouldn't be who I am without them. I also LOVE cooking...especially for others. I have recently been checking out a lot of documentaries on Netflix and also some podcasts from This American Life and Stuff You Should Know.

I am definitely a morning person and really enjoy being outside and near the water. Since I spent my summers and winters in Oregon and my school year in Southern California I really make up the best of both worlds. I love getting dressed up, looking nice, enjoying the finer things in life in addition to also being a little rugged (going camping, hiking, rafting, shooting, etc).

I also love traveling a lot. I definitely love going back to places I have lived before and being a "tourist" so I can check out places I never was able to conquer while I lived there. Right now I am treating SF like it's my own little tourist area where I explore different neighborhoods as I see fit. If you want to do some exploration then just let me know...I also really want to get to know the East Bay better as well.

A great quote: "Look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it."

I am dorky, spunky, and eclectic.
