I'm essentially the same person as "Amanda" in the Tom Robbins novel Another Roadside Attraction. Meaning, I'm feisty, liberated, and good at making raspberry preserves.

I work with a non profit that helps high school students go to college.
I'm also active in Houston Food not Bombs, a volunteer group that gives free vegetarian meals to the homeless downtown.
I occaisionly participate in contact improvisation dance and ecstatic dance.
