I was born and raised in the Bay Area, although I did a stint in North Carolina for undergrad. I love the West Coast and can't think of any place I'd rather live.

I love my job, but weekends and amazing vacations are what make me happy. On the weekends, you can pretty much always find me sharing brunch with friends, running down to Chrissy Field, taking trips to the coast, Tahoe, or Napa, or sharing a glass of wine with my sister.

I’m an ex-springboard diver turned runner, although I was a lot better at diving than I am running. I haven't touched a diving board since I was 22, but I'll dive off the side of a cliff any day. I love hiking and snowboarding, but not hiking up the side of a hill to get to the chair lift.

I'm a huge traveler. Favorite place: Barcelona, not favorite: Bolivia (lo siento, Bolivia!). I also love Buenos Aires, and will never forget some amazing times recently spent in Southeast Asia, Japan, and Chile.

I'll try anything once.

I just moved back to SF after a year and a half on an assignment in Sydney. It was awesome. I was in Japan every month, and got to visit Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, not to mention great places in Oz. I work in technology and can get a little geeky about it if you try me.

6. The 101 (not because I actually like it)

grabbing dinner at a new restaurant with friends, then enjoying some wine or getting just a little rowdy.

I'm slightly afraid of sleeping all alone. While house-sitting for my parents one summer, it's possible that I may have called 911 in a weak moment, somehow resulting in a K-9 unit being sent to the house (I swear, I really didn't say anything to suggest this was necessary!)...only to discover a skylight had fallen in the bathroom.

you have a witty sense of humor
