I love... traveling, teaching, walking around museums, writing, art, self expression, watching basketball/arguing about the Knicks, reading, talking politics, trying new foods, thrift stores, positive people, vintage jewelry, my record player, London, wit, meditating, dancing, good music, and walking my pitbull around NYC.

When I'm not cuddling with my pitbull, Nala, I am a 6th & 7th grade math teacher at a charter school in Harlem.
I am also currently getting my Masters of Science in Teaching at Fordham University's Lincoln campus.

Directions, getting to the root of an issue, finding compromises, being logical, finding new music, training dogs & horses, dancing, and being creative in the kitchen!

My green eyes? Or if I'm wearing heels that I'm tall?

--Eclecticism at its finest

I'm more about people (my pitbull) and ideas but if I had to choose "things"...

My passport
Music collection- vinyl & itunes
My mini library
Burt's bees red dahlia chapstick
Chunky guacamole
All my weird knick-knacks from traveling

How to reach my students, consciousness, educational policy, Buddhism, ambitions, music, and where to travel to next.

Out with friends, watching sports, or cuddling with my dog on the couch

My father is Buddhist and I was raised as a Mahayana Buddhist, though I don't meditate as much as I used to. Spirituality and intellectual curiosity are important to me.

You are actually looking for something meaningful.

Height, sass, creativity, intrinsic interest in world politics, beards, being a dog lover and having a witty sense of humor doesn't hurt either.
