I have a strong aversion to drama. I naturally gravitate to calm, and I work to decrease entropy. I come across as friendly and happy in most cases. I have an interesting combination of realistic, skeptical, and positive. I am very intuitive and tend to trust my feelings even when i dont understand them. I tend to strongly believe the things I believe in, but I am pretty open-minded and I make a habit of trying to like things today that I talked shit about yesterday; like math, cilantro, and dubstep. I think I understand emotions and human nature pretty well, but I learn new things every day. I live everyday as though the world is my classroom; I believe learning, living, and loving is the point of life. I majored in art and psych at CU, but I also went to school to learn how to fix and build cars, I'm a certified EMT and also a phlebotomist. I will probably continue education throughout my life.
I love where I live. Every time I look at the mountains I'm still in awe of their size and beauty. I also love the ocean, I can sit at the beach and watch every single wave break. I don't think a day goes by where I don't just stop and stare at something and tell myself how lucky i am. I am a very lucky person. I have a great family, an amazing life, an awesome job, the best dog...now I'm just wishing I had someone special to share it all with.

Living it to the best of my ability, unafraid, with respect for the briefness of existence, I try to live life with light and love.

I climb a lot, slackline, and mountain/road bike. I have a great job at a medical non-profit where I get to work with altruistic members of my community in order to make a difference in the lives of others. I feel pretty fortunate that I really believe in what I'm doing and that I help make a positive difference in my community. I would probably do my job for free, but shhh, don't tell that to payroll;)

Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bon Iver, Mumford and Sons, Weezer, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Iron and Wine,Matisyahu, Florence and The Machine have all been big favorites at some time. Angus and Julia Stone and The Glitch Mob Pandora stations are now at the top of my Pandora list.

Mediterranean, Asian, Cajun, Cuban. I like cooking. I make my own food way more than I eat out. I've been eating a low gluten diet so it's mostly protein, fruits and veggies for me. I particularly like cucumbers, avocados, bananas, strawberries, grapes, cherries, chicken, salmon, quinoa, and broccoli is pretty good too. I drink a lot of almond and coconut milk...and lots of water.
