ABOUT ME
Approaching life and work with sincerity, humor, and compassion.
I find a lot of joy from creating floral arrangements and volunteering around town.
When I’m in the mountains, I enjoy skiing and hiking. When I’m at the beach, I enjoy falling off a surfboard. When I’m in the countryside, I’m looking at the moon and the stars. When I’m in the city, I’m looking at the back of a bar for the yellow chartreuse.

I’ve made a monthly playlist on Spotify since 2010 - this is what I'm currently listening to!
