Likes: Hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, camping, dogs, cats, small animals that are entertaining, freshly cut grass, the smell of fall, blizzards, clean sheets, lemonade, sangiovese, soy lattes, hammocks, car dancing.

Dislikes: Socks, snowmen, luke warm coffee, stress hiccups, paper cuts, mustard, stubbing my toes, people who can't spell.

Finishing up culinary school, then off to NC for my final internship. After that, not so sure. I would like to end up as a backcountry chef, but for some reason guiding companies don't take culinary interns. Hmmm...at least I'm moving forward.

Living in Montpelier, spending way too much time in a kitchen and not enough in the woods; cleaning my chef whites and sharpening my knives takes up a good portion of my week. If I'm not in class or doing homework I'm at the bar or the golf course.

Books: anything political, historical, or autobiographical. I read more non-fiction than fiction, but do enjoy a good novel every now and then. A short History of Nearly Everything, Created from Animals, The Great Zapruder Film Hoax, Harry Potter, anything by Jodi Picoult.

Movies: Again, more documentaries. Mostly foreign and indie films. Singing in the Rain is my all time favorite movie. Really cheesy horror flicks or movies from the 50's and 60's.

Music: Everything except country and metal or people that are screaming/singing. Two Door Cinema Club, RJD2, Mumford & Sons, Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Paramore.

Food: Culinary students hate this question. I haven't figured that one out yet, and I don't know what my favorite kind of food to cook is. Ask me in ten years.

TV: Workaholics, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, Bones, Community, Arrested Development, House of Cards, Mad Men, Big Bang Theory.

Money, work, my future. When, if ever, will I feel like an adult.

My past and how I could have done things differently; I have a lot of regrets.

Working/class, then going out for a drink.

Im deathly afraid of happiness.

If you like sitting on your porch drinking coffee and watching the world go by, wasting time on the computer watching stupid videos, or pretending you were ten again and making up silly games.
