Think athletic business woman with a splash of creative and a sense of adventure... to borrow the phrase, I defy categorization.

As far as personality goes, my type is ISTJ which means I am not your typical girl, as I have the personality type typical for many CEOs (I graduated from Wharton with a triple concentration). While technically an introvert, I love taking calculated risks (think poker, investing, etc). I am very driven, extremely competitive, detailed-oriented, type-A, and logical (versus 75% of women are emotional). I excel at almost everything I do through hard work, and I am a no-drama girl. Yes, I'm intense but I also know how to kick back, relax and enjoy life. I love being around high energy people, as long as I have some down time to myself every once in awhile. I am also the first born of four siblings, and I have many personality traits typical of first born children. I am very happy and confident with who I am.

What this means for you... most guys think I am awesome. I consider myself low-maintenance, well rounded, with a high self esteem and very easy-going. I love to travel and I have never lived anywhere for more than four years (to include Europe, New Jersey, the dirty south, NYC, and now California!), but try to take the best of each place with me. To answer an often asked question, I have been in SF for 3 years now, but maybe San Francisco will be the first place to break that trend as I do love it here!

I played several team sports through high school (softball primarily), did competitive swing dancing in college, and my latest adventures are running half marathons, trail 10K races, surfing, and I recently took a beginner kite boarding lesson. I have been sky diving twice and loved it. I also love music and used to play the trumpet in a nationally-ranked jazz band, something which I'd love to get back into some day. I love almost all foods (except super spicy... it burns!), enjoy checking out new restaurants, shows, etc because I believe variety is the spice of life. I love wine country, swing dancing, hiking, bowling, shooting pool, poker, and laser tag among many many more things!

With regards to politics, I am basically a libertarian (fiscally conservative and socially liberal) and I believe in small government. Beyond establishing a political frame work, I don't spend much time worrying about politics or things which are outside my control. I consider these views always open to discussion and change, but probably wouldn't work well with someone adamantly on either political extreme.

Right now I am having fun pursuing a fast paced career in finance (I'm an investment analyst at a HY credit fund after finishing a couple years in Investment Banking) but one day I hope to discover something I am really passionate about.

Almost anything besides karaoke, celebrity spotting, American history, and trivia!

My freckles, dark hair on light skin (I am ethnically half Italian, half English), hourglass figure, and long eyelashes. If at the gym, then "damn, that girl can do pull-ups."

So here is where I mention I don't own a TV or a microwave... I'm not morally opposed to either - I would just rather spend my free time not watching tv, and my apartment didn't come with a microwave and you get used to it.

When I do watch movies, generally action movies are my favorite but I like comedies too. Saw Lincoln and Argo recently and enjoyed both. Gladiator, Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mulan ("ooo, sign me up for the next war!"), and Shrek are the first movies that come to my mind. I also enjoying watching sports, especially when it's a big game, but I'd rather play sports than follow them closely.

I have become a foodie thanks to NYC and SF and love all types of food. I'm not a picky eater and love trying everything family style when at a new place.

Aside from family, friends, pets...

Opportunity to succeed. Health, good food, sleep, fresh air, sunshine, exercise... Bacon and dark chocolate, maybe together maybe not. Boudin sour dough bread bowls with clam chowder. Long, hot showers. Shoulder massages. Escaping to the outdoors.

Happiness, how to improve myself, and ways to achieve financial freedom

Doing something chill to help unwind from the week.

I have two adorable cats...! I became a certified bar tender when I was 18. I've never had a cavity, ever. I ran Bay to Breakers wearing Vibram five toe shoes. Take your pick!

Tall, dark and handsome. By tall I mean 5'9" is the cut off... you have to be my height or taller if I'm in heels. By dark I was just hoping that one of us tans better than me, which is a pretty low bar! Handsome speaks for itself.

Kind, intelligent, driven, and fun. If you also love swing dancing (or open to trying!). If you can equally rock a suit, jeans, and nothing at all. Seriously guys - I love love love six packs on men, and I hold myself to a pretty high level of fitness. It's ok if you don't have one at this particular moment, but I need someone who loves staying in shape as much as I do.

Don't message me if you are addicted to anything whether it's alcohol, nicotine, gambling, caffeine, etc. Also - I usually split the cost of a first date, unless you really insist, but deep down every girl loves to be spoiled.

Finally, if you do message me, I will read it and check out your profile. If I don't reply it's because I think the chances of chemistry are low, but if you want specific feedback, just ask. I'm all about open communication!
