I am a people-oriented person who enjoys the power of creativity and connection in my life. Some of the things I cherish in life include:

-- learning through experience and interaction;
-- food and culture;
-- literature (especially magazines and poetry);
-- arts (both fine and craft), fashion, and design (especially architecture and interior design);
-- exercising in the outdoors;
-- alternative/holistic health and nutrition;
-- music and film (all kinds!); and
-- politics (national and international) and civic engagement.

I have a secret desire to live life as a Broadway musical, including the song and dance routines that break out at (in?)opportune times. And although I officially am a "thirty-something," I have a heart of an eight-year old tomboy.
