I'm an African-American female assistant Internet recruiter, art model, and "geek in training" who is an atheist, vegan, Unitarian, polyamorous, and bisexual. I have a B.A. in Communication/Management from Marylhurst College (Lake Oswego, OR).

I am shy, intelligent, and sensual

I'm an Assistant Internet Recruiter for a well-known employment agency that sends people to work for the Software Giant in Redmond, WA. I have a B.A. in Communication/Management, and was a returning "A" student (Phi Theta Kappa and Dean's List member) in a two-year Applications Support (Information Technology) Certificate Program at Seattle Central Community College. In August 2005, I entered Washington State University in Pullman, WA, where I spent a year. I worked as an administrative assistant most of my adult life, which was the reason for returning to school (that, and wanting to live in a college town). I've been an artist's model for 20 years as well as a medical model for Bastyr University. I'm trying to teach myself Python and Perl, and am in the process of completing Atlas Shrugged.

I've only been to one slumber party in my life, and that was in 2002.

you want to spend time with me in long, meaningful conversation. You should also message me if you're intelligent. On the other hand, if you happen to be illiterate ("I'm not illiterate! My parents were married!"), then please do not waste my time. Thank you.
