Hi there! Thanks for stopping by :-) I'm one of the rare breeds around here: native Austinite. I was also a co-founder of a new green business here that's seen a decent amount of media attention lately. I could blab about it (and am available to do so by request), but I've moved on from this venture to chase bigger dreams.

Personality wise, for the Myers-Briggs fans, I'm an ENFJ. If that's a group of meaningless letters to you, then this may be more helpful:

In general I thrive on connection with others. I'm intuitive, and find people pretty easy to read and understand. I'm super empathetic, and really enjoy understanding others' motivations and emotions. I like to know what makes people tick, and am great at figuring it out.

I'm also really funny. IM NOT JOKING. I WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH.

Well, that's entirely subjective, but I hope you laugh when you're with me because I've got a sense of humor that just won't quit. And for this reason, I've taken on improv comedy to get my sillies out. So many sillies!

Stuff I like:

Authenticity. I have a major fetish for things that're original, or prototypical in some way. I love old fabrics, clothes, furniture, art, and design. I would love to take art history over and over and over again - but not for credit, haha.

More to come...

Professionally: Helping people heal their skin with the most natural and non-invasive processes. I'm in aesthetics school right now learning skin care and massage, but after I graduate I'll likely either become a physician's assistant, or get my doctorate in Naturopathy.

I come by my passion for medicine and healing very honestly. Both of my parents are amazing doctors who've taught me what it means to take care of people.

Science- mmmm, love science
Foreign languages
Problem solving
Recognizing people's talents
Seeing the big picture
Paying attention to detail
Working with my hands
Being patient
Teaching people stuff
Shopping at farmers markets
Finding the silver lining
Cuddling :-)
Listening
Talking (maybe too good at this)
Dancing (any partner dance! Lindy hop, two step, you name it.)
Being environmentally conscientious
Not being wasteful (as much as one can in the U.S.)
Being nice!
Being naughty ;-)

Well. So the thing is, I have pink hair.

If anyone notices something else first I'd like to know about it!

How to improve, well, everything. I'm a problem solver! Simple solutions to complex problems are waiting for us to trip over them...sometimes literally!

The idea that human ingenuity is the world's greatest renewable resource.

I'm a unicorn. Now you know.

If we end up hanging out, dating, or becoming arch enemies, I just ask that you please use discretion when sharing this information with others. Not everyone is as accepting as you may think.
