I am fun-loving, quirky, and random.
My Self-Summary
I live a pretty busy/active life. I work full time at a Financial
Services company. I enjoy reading, red wine, tasty cocktails,
cooking and baking, volunteering, and running. I am currently
training for the Boston Half Marathon on October. This will be my
first race longer than a 5K...Yikes!
I love music and and have a weak spot for anyone who can appreciate
good music. There is nothing more fulfilling than the feeling of
excitement you get from listening to a good album. Music is one of
the only things that can make me happy no matter what kind of mood
I am in.
I enjoy cooking for others and hosting dinner parties/game nights.
I have a famous dessert called "snow poop" that many people are
terrified to try. Once they do I am usually haunted to bring it to
every function/get together! I'd take eating at a hole-in-the-wall
food joint any day over a chain restaurant!
People tend to think I can be shy when they first meet
me...sometimes it takes me a bit to warm up, but once I do I am
actually pretty silly, sarcastic, and quite random.
I'm terribly scared of heights but I've been sky
diving....twice!!
I think bowling is one of the most fun activities EVER, maybe it's
because I get to wear those cool shoes.
What I’m doing with my life
Right now I am working for a financial services company and
thinking about going back to school to get my MBA.
I’m really good at
Being silly, random, and entertaining others
Making snow poop
The first things people usually notice about me

Usually home relaxing after a long week or getting a few drinks and
enjoying some good food with friends.

good laugh at myself.

collar!
